===================================
Not hurtin' anyone
that's all she had to say
I'm only havin' fun
they just got in the way
Did it much matter then
tell me I need to know
The things that they made me do
the way that I had to go
Long way back again
oh yeah
Listening to her right now
not listening anyhow
The girl's got some things to say
not listening anyway
Why does it have to be
why do they need to know
She put them down one by one
she put on a real good show
Long way back again
Once she believed in love so fine
She won't be understanding this time
(she's just beginning to grow)
Voices keep goin' round in my head
(they keep on sayin' it's so)
I still can't understand what they said
(you know they come from below)
Not hurtin' anyone
that's all she had to say
I was just havin' fun
they just got in the way
Did it much matter then
tell me I need to know
The things that they made me do
the way that I had to go
Long way back again
Long way back again
long way back again
Long way back again
long way back, let's go
Long way back again
long way back again
Long way back again
long way back again
