Youve Been Gone Too Long
Sellers
Youve been gone too long,
Youve been gone much too long,
Baby Im telling you, youve been gone too long,
Now Ive got a guy loves to stay home at night,
He really knows how to treat me right,
Youve been gone too long, youve been gone too long,
Baby Im telling you, youve been gone too long,
Now, you went out with ruth, well you know thats the truth,
You went out with flo, and she aint so slow
Oh, youve been gone too long, youve been gone too long,
Baby Im telling you, youve been gone too long,
Now let me tell you baby, dont you push me around,
Just you do yourself a favour and get out of town,
Youve been gone too long, yes, youve been gone too long,
Baby Im telling you, youve been gone too long,
Youve been gone too long, youve been gone much too long.

How Long Baby
How long, how long baby,
Can this love of ours go on?
How long, how long baby,
cause I know, I know youve been doin me wrong
Youve been seen all over town
Playin the field puttin me down
How long can this go on?
How long, how long baby
Must you treat me like a fool?
How long, how long baby,
Dont you know, youre breakin the rules?
Do you think its only a game?
The way that youre actin,
Youll drive me insane,
How long can this go on?
(instrumental)
I wanna know, how long, how long baby,
Must you tear my soul apart?
How long, how long baby,
When you break, when you break my heart
Oh wont you, change your ways,
Come on back, let me hear you say
That we will start anew
I need you so, I need you so
I need you so, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Long Way From Home
The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leaving,
Theres nobody nobody knows on the street;
A few stranded souls standing cold at the station,
An nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep.
Chorus:
Lord, would you look at you
Now that youre here, aint you
Proud of your peers
And the long way youve come?
All alone, all the way
On your own, whos to say
That youve thrown it away for a song?
Boy, youve sure come a long way from home.
So its so long to so many so far behind you,
Fair-weather friends that you no longer know;
Youve still got the same lonely songs to remind you
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago.
Lord, would you look at you
Now that youre here, aint you
Proud of your peers
And the long way youve come?
All alone, all the way
On you own, whos to say
That youve thrown it away for a song?
Boy, youve sure come a long way from home.

I Want To Know You For A Long Time
F-ing short the loving lasts
I cant mix the future with the past
Can I stay close to you
I wanna stay close to you
Youve got yours and Ive got mine
And what we have in so hard to define
Just take a look at your life line
Youve got a lot to shine
Lets say baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ooh baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Oh darling, lady friend
Well see each other when its time to show
Just for a minute or for a year
But then again, dont you and I know
A time between our time together
It doesnt exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your life line
Ob baby, youve got a lot to shine
I know it baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ob and baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby
Oh youve got a lot to live girl
So I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, I wanna know,
I wanna know baby
So much to live for girl,
So much to live for girl
So I wanna know you baby
Wanna know you for a long long time.
I wanna know, wanna know ...

Too Long In Exile
Too long in exile
Too long not singing my song
Too long in exile
Too long like a rolling stone
Too long in exile
Too long in exile
Baby those people just aint, just aint your friends
Too long in exile my friend
You can never go home again
Well that isolated feeling
Drives you so close up against the wall
Till you feel like you cant go on
Youve been in the same place for too long
Too long in exile
Baby you can never go back home
Too long in exile
Anyway you want
Oh that isolated feeling
Drives you up against, up against the wall
cos youve been on the mainland baby
Been on the mainland, cominon strong
Too long in exile
Too long people keep hanging on
Too long in exile
Too long like a rolling stone
And the wheeling and the dealing
All takes up too much time
Check your better self baby
Youd better satisfy, satisfy your mind
Too long in exile
Too long youve been grinding at the mill
Too long in exile
Man, Ive really just had my fill
Too long in exile
You can never go back home again
Too long in exile
Youre about to drive me just insane
Too long in exile, been too long in exile
Just like james joyce, baby
Too long in exile
Just like samuel beckett baby
Too long in exile
Just like oscar wilde
Too long in exile
Just like george best, baby
Too long in exile
Just like alex higgins, baby
Too long in exile

Since Youve Been Gone
J. spinks
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one taking your place
Since youve been gone
Ive just been foolin around
Since youve been gone
This worlds been turned upside down
Didnt think Id find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - aint over yet
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Dont get me wrong
cos youre not the only girl Ive ever had
But since youve been gone
Girl you know the thought of yous driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I cant take
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one to stand in my way
Since youve been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since youve been gone
Girl you know that I cant get you out of my mind
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since youve been gone
Since youve been gone

Too Gone, Too Long
Youve been too gone, too long,
Its too late to come back now
Its been so long since you walked out my door
Now youre just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and shes the true love
But darlin how could you have known?
Cause youve been too gone, for too long
Now its too late to come back home
Youve been a long way, goin the wrong way
Dont even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now youre paying the bills
Youre an old rollin stone who ran over the hills
I had a good cry when you said goodbye
I didnt wanna let you go
But youve been too gone for too long
Now its too late to come back home
I had a good cry when you said goodbye
I didnt wanna let you go
But youve been too gone for too long
So why dont you just stay gone?
Youve been too gone for too long
Now its too late to come back home

Just Because
(words & music by b. shelton - j. shelton - s. robin)
Well, well, well,
Just because you think youre so pretty,
And just because your momma thinks youre hot,
Well, just because you think youve got something
That no other girl has got,
Youve caused me to spend all my money.
You laughed and called me old santa claus.
Well, Im telling you,
Baby, Im through with you.
Because, well well, just because.
Well, well, well,
Therell come a time when youll be lonesome
And therell come a time when youll be blue.
Well, therell come a time when old santa
He wont pay your bills for you.
Youve caused me to lose all my women
And now, now you say we are through.
Well, Im telling you
Baby, I was through with you
A long long time ago.
Well, just because you think youre so pretty
And just because your mama thinks youre the hottest thing in
Town
Well, just because you think youve got something
That nobody else has got,
Youve caused me to spend all of my money.
Honey, you laughed and called me your old santa claus.
Well, Im telling you Im through with you
Because, well well, just because.

Walking Through Fire
When you set a match to your heart
Fueling it with bitterness and doubt
Thats a blaze that once it starts
No amount of tears can put out
I know youre scared
But no ones spared
When you play with matches
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Maybe youve been burned by lovers
Maybe youve been scarred by the pain
But baby Im not like the others
Drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark
Crackling in the dark
Consuming all it catches
And youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
You can see the toll its taking
You can feel the faith its shaking
You can hear the heart its breaking now
Baby Ive burned by the fever
Ive been scorched by desire
But baby Im not your deceiver
Or your eloquent liar
Your jealous heart is tearing us apart
And turning love to ashes
When youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire to get to you
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)
As the flames shoot higher
Youve got me walking through fire
(walking through fire)

So Long
Does your conscience still say anything to you?
You have fallen down so far from what you knew
Its been so long that I cant believe I still remember
Exactly how I used to be
Its not enough
Of what you want
Ive given up
Its come and gone
Its not enough
Its not enough
Its not enough
Youve been running from your shadow in the hall
Youve been hanging up your failure on the wall
Its been so long that I cant believe I still remember
Exactly how you used to be
Its not enough
Of what you want
Youve given up
Its come and gone
Not enough
Its not enough
Its not enough
Its not enough

Heroes & Villains
Ive been in this town so long that back in the city
Ive been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the spanish and indian home
Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But shes still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dudell do in a town full of heroes and villains
Heroes and villains
Just see what youve done
Heroes and villains
Just see what youve done
Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And its all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains
My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and wise
Ive been in this town so long
So long to the city
Im fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff Im alright
By the heroes and
Heroes and villains
Just see what youve done
Heroes and villains
Just see what youve done

Chains About My Heart
Out of my sight / but the vision is still the same
Out of my mind / but the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Dont ask me why / why Ive lived with this all alone
Locked up inside / and its cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of dangers the only sign I see
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Are you listening / is there something that youd like to say
Am I getting through / are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Thats all Im asking of you
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Forever & A Day
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
Chorus
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I dont want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
Chorus
If youve got a vision
Then I dont want to see
If youve got a notion
Dont waste it on me

Who Do You Think You Are
Written by ricki & kim wilde
A long time ago you promised yourself
Theyre all gonna know me someday
Well you got what you wanted
But look at you now
You lost something good on the way
So where did it go
Tell me where did it go
But you wouldnt know
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
Now everything seems to be going your way
And everyone loves what they see
But you ruin it all with the things that you say
So tell me how does it feel
When youre all alone
How does it feel
Youre alone
Nothing is real
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You cant see youve become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And youve gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?
You can keep all your dreams
But you dont have to lose yourself
Cos one day youre gonna break
When the face in the mirror
Looking back at yous
A stranger that you cant place
Just who do you think you are ?
Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You dont care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now youve come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You cant see youve become
All the things you despise
But I know who you are
And youve gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

Great Expectations
Youre sittin in your seat
And then you stand and clutch your breast
Our music drives you wild along with the rest
You watch me singing this song
You see what my mouth can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
And you watch me playin guitar
And you feel what my fingers can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations
Youre dying to be seen
And you wave and call my name
But in the day it seems that Im a million miles away
You watch me beatin my drum
And you know what my hands can do
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
Well, listen
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations
Then you feels these eyes from the stage
And you see me staring at you
And you hear between the lines, my voice is calling to you
Well, listen
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations, do you want to play the role
Youve got great expectations, youd even sell me your soul
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations
Youve got great expectations, do you want to play the role
Youve got great expectations, youd even sell me your soul
Youve got great expectations, as long as you can play the role

You Been On My Mind
(rodney crowell)
Guess its time for me to say just how it is that I feel today
Today is just like any other day cause youve been on my mind
It really hasnt been that long but its funny where the time has flown
Old memories just keep holding on and you been on my mind
You been on my mind sometimes
I think I must be going blind
Ive seen a world baby without you
But I dont see myself there too
Hardly does a day go by when I dont see your clear blue eyes
Many night I just wonder why and you been on my mind
Youve been on my mind so long
Ive been thinking that something was wrong
Ive told myself I should forget
But I dont seem to have it yet
I dont dream that you might change I dont think that Im acting strange
I tell myself its all in vain and you been on my mind
Youve been on my mind Ive said
Till its all thats in my head
Yes I know what I must do
But I dont think youll be there too
Guess its time for me to go but as it is Ill never know
Just what it is that I long for so and you been on my mind

When Youve Got What It Takes
When youve got what it takes
Youve got nothing to hide
Youve got miles of feelings
And acres of pride
Youve got it
Youve really got it
When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You give what you can
And its good when youve really got it
And when youve got it
(*) let it out
Let it show
Letem know
Inside youve got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The feeling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it
When youre sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it
You begin to believe
Youll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it
Repeat (*)
When a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it
When a difference it makes
When youve got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When youve got it everyday

Am I The Only Thing That Youve Done Wrong
(billy joe faster/lee ann womack/jason sellers)
Youre the life of the party
You stand out in a crowd
When I think of all the things youve done
It always makes me proud
But tonight Im feeling empty
It seems Im always here alone
Am I the only thing youve done wrong
Am I the only one that youve forgotten on the way
To gain the world and lose our love
Is to high a price to pay
In your long line of successes
Tell me where do I belong
Am I the only thing youve done wrong
You got another big promotion
Youre the best man on the crew
When you set your mind on something
Theres nothing you cant do
This house you built is perfect
Were the envy of the town
But lord its lonley here when youre not around
Am I the only one that youve forgotten on the way

Without you here to put the feelin right

If you stay by me who knows what you might find
Theres a certain magic in your smile
And its plain to see youve sure got style
Just to be with you Id walk a thousand miles
