You Been Away Too Long

[Intro]
If you knew
How much I miss you

[Verse 1]
You've been away too long
You shouldn't stay so long
Now my life is much too empty
When you're gone
Now how you wouldn't stay so long
You could not stay so long
If you know how much I miss you babe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you're gone
All day long
And every night it's you
I'm thinkin' of

[Chorus 1]
We belong
Like the stars to the night
If you looked in your heart
You would know that I'm right so
Don't make me wait so long
How could you take so long
Everything seemed so empty baby
And life wasn't meant to be lonely baby
Oh, darlin' you know it's you only
When you're gone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I sit back all day long
Each and every night
It's only you
That I'm thinkin' of

[Chorus 2]
We belong
Like the stars in the night
If you looked in your heart
You would know that I'm right
So why should you make me wait so long
How could you take so long
You know that everything seems so empty
And life wasn't meant to be lonely
And I'll let you know, it's you only
When you're gone

[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Oh, baby
Yeah, daddy
When you—
When you're gone
Who could stand it?
Knowin' the kind of love you got
What woman could take it
When she's had [?] of your love
