One Day Too Long

[Chorus]

You been gone

You been gone

You been gone one day

One day too long

[Verse 1]

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 time's run out 'cause

Yesterday this love could have been saved

Just crawl back out ain't no way

[Chorus]

You been gone

You been gone

You been gone one day

One day too long

Too long, baby

[Verse 2]

You know, I ain't a once in a while kind of thang

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

[Bridge]

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 you're the one who's being left behind

God sent me a man who will give me my time

[Chorus]

You been gone

You been gone

You been gone one day

One day too long

[Outro]

You been gone

You been gone one day, one day

You been gone one day, one day

You been gone one day

One day too long

Ooh, hoo

Ooh, yeah

Oh, it's sad to see you go, oh yeah

You been gone

One day, one day too long
