You been gone You been gone You been gone One day One day to long I'm the kind of woman Who understands How the road Can be so hard On a traveling man I don't mind giving you A little room to breathe Then you go And take advantage Of my generosity I'm home, waiting Alone, aching Your times run Out 'cause Yesterday This love Could have been saved Just crawl back out Ain't no way You been gone You been gone You been gone one day One day too long You see I ain't a once in a while Kind of thing You see Love is being here For each other Even with you Standing right here Right now Right in front of my face You're still looking Right through me Well Let me clear Something up For you honey I called you up Told you I was Missing, needing To be soothed by you Keep your reasons I'm done pleasing Ain't it funny now I'm leaving And your the one Who's being left behind God sent me a man Who will give me my time You been gone You been gone You been gone one day One day too long
