You`ve Been Around Too Long — текст песни (Carole King)

YOU`VE BEEN AROUND TOO LONG
by Carole King

Oooh, I hear you say attitudes and times
have changed
And I know the feeling-it`s long overdue
You say this is a time to right old wrongs
Tell me now, if it`s true
You got the mind, you got the time
How long are you gonna wait to do
what you want to do now

You`ve been around too long
Not to notice what`s going on in town
You`ve got to understand
I`m taking my life in my own hands
And gaining ground-look around

Peace of mind
You got yours.I want mine
If you really want to do right by me
See what you wnat to see
But let me be what I want to be

Cause you`ve been around too long
Not to realize what`s going on inside
I`m just like you
I`m doing the best that I can do
to make my stride
