You´ve been gone too long,
You´ve been gone much too long,
Baby I´m telling you, you´ve been gone too long,
Now I´ve got a guy loves to stay home at night,
He really knows how to treat me right,
You´ve been gone too long, you´ve been gone too long,
Baby I´m telling you, you´ve been gone too long,

Now, you went out with Ruth, well you know that´s the truth,
You went out with Flo, and she ain´t so slow
Oh, you´ve been gone too long, you´ve been gone too long,
Baby I´m telling you, you´ve been gone too long,

Now let me tell you baby, don´t you push me around,
Just you do yourself a favour and get out of town,
You´ve been gone too long, yes, you´ve been gone too long,
Baby I´m telling you, you´ve been gone too long,
You´ve been gone too long, you´ve been gone much too long.
