Anita Baker Been So Long Lyrics

Been So Long Lyrics

I won't be neglected

I won't be denied

The pleasure of your
kisses

The pleasure of your smile



I think you take for
granted

I'll always be here

Just because I love you

It doesn't mean
I won't disappear



CHORUS

Been so long . . . of missin' you,
baby

Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby



Thoughts and mellow
memories

Of once upon a time

Slowly creepin' on me

And they linger
on my mind



Just let somebody love you

I just don't know
why

Whenever I get close to you

You want to run and
hide



CHORUS

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

It's
been so long . . . of missin' you, baby

It's been so long . . . of missin'
you, baby

It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby



We began
lovers' dance

The road was smooth to romance

And we sang love sweet
song every day



I believe that love would stay in my heart

Now it's
torn all apart

It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say

I don`t
believe that you could do me this way



Now don't you understand

I'm
in need of comfort

The comfort of your hand in mine

And what I feel
inside

Why don't you come closer

I can't hide



Been so
long

Been so long . . . can't hide

Been so long

Been so long . . .
it's too long, won't you come on, baby

Been so long . . . won't you come
home, see about me

see about me



Been so long
