lyrics

It’s been a long, long time since I thought of you
It’s been a long, long time, like, a day or two
You’re always on my mind, don’t know what to do
It’s been a long, long time since I thought of you, oh.

I’m always lonely, it’s a part of me
I don’t need anybody’s help with that
You say that you want me, do anything for me
But, that ain’t the same as having my back.
No, no, no, no, no.

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been at home
It’s been a long, long time all the plants have grown
It’s been a long, long time that I lived alone
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been at home.

I’m always lonely, it’s a part of me
I don’t need anybody’s help with that
You say that you want me, do anything for me
But, that ain’t the same as having my back.
You seemed like a good one
How could I forget that every present turns to past?
I’m tired of the loves that never, never, never, never seem to last.

They never, never, never seem to last
They never, never, never seem to last

And now I find myself playin’ a different tune
My friends they think I’m sad – that ain’t true
I cried a single tear and now I’m through
‘Cause now I find myself playin’ a different tune

I’m always lonely, it’s a part of me
I don’t need anybody’s help with that
You say that you want me, do anything for me
But, that ain’t the same as having my back.
You seemed like a good one
How could I forget that every present turns to past?
I’m tired of the loves that never, never, never, never seem to last, oh.

When you call I won’t be home
I’m always alone
But, I’m never home
Because they never, never, never seem to last.

Alisa Amador Boston, Massachusetts

Alisa Amador’s music is a synthesis of the many styles she’s voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. With a sound that NPR calls, “a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams,” her soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms, are likely to make you cry, laugh and dance all within one set. ... more
