Anita Baker
Been So Long 

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
