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
