Well I've worn out my welcome And worn out most everyone's shoulder With this heart ache of mine That tonight is another year older I'm crying the same ol song Oh I've been down to long When there might be an angel outside my door With a heart I can call my own There might be a diamond that I've held before But discarded like some old stone Boy I'd better get on out and grab me a little Right now before it's gone Hey I've been down too long. Yes I've done everything that you do Every time that blues hit you. And I've followed them all the way down, And I know where that gets you. Oh no, and we're all alone Oh I've been down to long When there might be an angel outside my door With a heart I can call my own There might be a diamond that I've held before But discarded like some old stone Boy I'd better get on out and grab me a little Right now before it's gone Hey I've been down too long. I've been down too long Carrying on long enough, But now I think it's high time I set my mind To working my way back up When there might be an angel outside my door With a heart I can call my own There might be a diamond that I've held before But discarded like some old stone Boy I'd better get on out and grab me a little Right now before it's gone Hey I've been down too long. Hey I've been down too long.
