Baby, I say, baby, I say maybe
You been gone too long

When you left I sang a sad, sad song
But now I’m back to feelin’ strong
I say, baby, I say, maybe, I say, baby,
You been gone too long
I say, ba-yaa-yaa-yaa-by
You been gone too long

Here you come walking through my front door
But, baby, I don’t want you no more
I say, baby, I say, baby, I say, maybe,
You been gone too long
I say, ba-yaa-yaa-yaa-by
You been gone too long

There’s up, there’s down
There’s all over town
You left my heart just spinning around
But, baby, been gone too long.

Now it’s time for you to head on out
I send you on your way without one doubt
Because, baby, I say, baby, I say maybe,
You been gone too long
I say, ba-yaa-yaa-yaa-by
You been gone too long

There’s up, there’s down
There’s all over town
You left my heart just spinning around
But, baby, been gone too long.

Gone too long, baby, gone too long
