I've been outside
my window
looking in for a change
And what I've seen, let me tell you,
isn't the least bit strange
My landlady,
she puts her head into my room
Your nose must be as long as
the handle of a broom
But you, you amaze me
when you suddenly show up
You're testing your innocence
and proclaiming your love
But it's been too long
since you went away
Too long, you know there's no
chance you're staying
Too long, baby, you should know that
After seven, four years,
you still want me back
It's been too long, baby, take my advice
You can walk out on me once,
but you can't do it twice
If life is what you're making,
then you'll have to agree
In my life, I've had more than
a lifetime's misery
I'm not that I'm complaining,
you know I wouldn't do that
But in our firm, when there's trouble,
it's me who gets the sack
But you, you amazed me
with your big blue eyes
You thought me seeing you
would be a nice surprise
But it's been too long
since you went away
Too long, can't you hear
what I'm saying?
Too long, baby, why won't you be told?
Sure, I cared about you once,
but that was long ago
It's been too long, baby,
go ahead and cry
You can walk out on me once,
but you can't do it twice
But you, you've amazed me
when you suddenly show up
Protesting your innocence
and proclaiming your love
But it's been too long
since you went away
Too long, if you hear what I'm saying
Too long, baby, you should know that
After seven whole years,
you still want me back
It's been too long, baby, take my advice
You can walk out on me once,
but you can't do it twice
Go back to the life that you
say to have found
Don't bother me with your hopes
and your doubts
Oh, I don't understand how
someone like you
Turns up like this out of the blue
Too long, baby, why won't you be told
Sure, I cared about you once,
but that was long ago
It's been too long, baby,
you heard what I said
It's as if you were returning
from the dead
Too long, baby
Oh -oh, -oh, oh -oh -oh,
oh -oh -oh
