I keep thinking any minute you’ll be coming home, honey,
I ain’t seen nothing of you in a month of Sundays, tell me,
how long gone are you gonna be?
All you said was, you had to get going,
ah, but baby, I wouldn’t mind knowing, just
how long gone are you gonna be?
How’m I supposed to make any plans,
when I still don’t even understand,
if you’re ever gonna come back home to me ?
Tell me, ple ase ! How long gone are you gonna be ?
Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention,
but I do believe you forgot to mention, just
how long gone are you gonna be?
The phone ain’t ringing, 'cause you ain’t calling,
I ain’t been hearing your footsteps falling, tell me,
how long gone are you gonna be?
How’m I supposed to make any plans,
when I still don’t even understand,
if you’re ever gonna come back home to me?
Tell me, ple ase ! How long gone are you gonna be?
How’m I supposed to make any plans,
when I still don’t even understand,
if you’re ever gonna come back home to me?
Tell me, ple ase ! How long gone are you gonna be?
Tell me !
How long gone are you gonna be?
