Been So Long Karaoke

Been So Long
(Anita Baker)

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... of missin' you baby
Been so long... of missin' you baby

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... of missin' you baby
It's been so long... of missin' you baby
It's been so long... of missin' you baby
It's been so long... of missin' you baby

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... can't hide
Been so long
Been so long... it's too long, won't you come on, baby
Been so long... won't you come home, see about me
See about me

Been so long

[Sexyazshay],...you've no idea how much it means to me that you cared enough to make sure we had access to this one! I won Indianapolis' Starquest 1988 with this one,..but I was forced to sing it acappella because the band I brought to back me was'nt allowed to play,...I even sang it in a highschool variety show,...yes acappella,... and yes I kicked a little ass then too,...(smile) just wanna thank you soo much! because of "you" I'll never sing this without music again!!

@jvw1018....that is so awesome, no one will ever be able to take that from you!! Anita is a Phenomenon! I don't think she understands how treasured she really is; and how in love with her music we will (always) be!

@KittiesJason I sang this song accapella too! I auditioned for a talent contest back in the early 90's, it was one of the best moments, the judges actually asked me to sing it again. From beginning to end. I'll never forget how that felt. I didn't win but I had my moment, transforming into Anita Baker for just that short time :))
