Lyrics You’ve Been Gone Too Long - Nina Simone

You’ve Been Gone Too Long

You’ve been gone too long, you’ve been gone much too long
Baby I’m tellin' 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 tellin' you, you’ve been gone too long
Now, you went out with Ruth and 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 tellin' you, you’ve been gone too long
Now let me tell you baby, don’t you push me around
Just do yourself a favor and get out of town
You’ve been gone too long, yes, you’ve been gone too long
Baby I’m tellin' you, you’ve been gone too long
You’ve been gone too long, you’ve been gone much too long
