The Electric Flag

A Long Time Comin'

Women I just want to tell you
That the look on my face is not the way I feel inside
And if you knew all the things I do for you
Go through for you, it make you surprise
Sometimes a man's hope is gone
But he's got to carry on
But you just don't realize
All the money I make that you burn
So hard to earn, it don't come from the skies
And if you knew all the things I think about
Girl I don't have to shout, you can see it right there in my eyes
When I need a place to hide you're not by my side
For you, you just don't realize, no
There is only one way for a man that you throughly love
There is only one way for her to be, but wait a minute
Care about it, care about him, oh yeah yeah
Now can't you see?
Now woman I just want to tell you one more time
That that look on my face is not the way that I feel inside
And if you knew all the things I go through for you
Do for you, it make you surprise
Sometimes a man's hope is gone
But he's got to carry on for you
But you, you don't baby
Baby you just don't know, no no no baby no
You don't, you don't, you don't understand
You don't, no no baby, you just, you just don't, don't understand
You just don't, don't understand, you just don't, don't understand
