Anita Baker - 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 Been so long 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 It's been so long It's been so long It's been so long We began lovers' dance The road was smooth so romance And we sang love's sweet song everyday I believed 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 your comfort The comfort of your hand in mine And what I feel inside Why didn't you come closer I can't hide Chorus: Been so long Been so long Been so long Been so long Been so long See about me Been so long
