Long Time Songtext
von Blondie

I′ve been running circles 'round a night that never ends
I′ve been chasing heartache, in a city and a friend
I've been with you so long
Even seen you lose it, but who cares?

Racing down The Bowery, on a crowded afternoon
Tripping from The Davenport above your insecure typhoon
Can you even want me
Or is this just a way to keep you safe?

Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I'm yours
Are you happy?

Does it take you a long time?
Does it make you upset?
Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?
I can give you a heartbeat
I can give you a friend
I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend


Drinking with your cell phone with a smile on your face
Happy in success, but still a thousand miles away
Is this what you wanted
Is this everything you had in store?

Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I′m yours
Are you happy?

Does it take you a long time?
Does it make you upset?
Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?
I can give you a heartbeat
I can give you a friend
I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I′m yours
Are you happy?

I've been running circles ′round a night that never ends
I've been chasing heartache, in a city and a friend
I′ve been with you so long
Even seen you lose it, but who cares?


Does it take you a long time?
Does it make you upset?
Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?
I can give you a heartbeat
I can give you a friend
I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I'm yours
Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I′m yours
Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I'm yours
Take me, then lose me
Then tell them I'm yours
