ANITA BAKER - Been So Long lyrics

I won't be denied

The pleasure of your kissed

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
