Dr John - So Long Lyrics

I've got a strange disposition
I've got to dig down deep sometimes
Can't explain my reasons
I didn't mean to be unkind
I could not tolerate
The same from you, I know
I can't begin to understand
If you were me, I'd
I've been so long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in with you
I just thought you should know
You are a constant contradiction
Keep me guessing all the time
Sometimes when I go too far
You pull me back in line
And if I don't go far enough
You show me what to do
I guess that's why, I've been so long
So long in love with you
I've been so long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in with you
I just thought you should know
I've never had to fight alone
And if I did I'd never win
Remember when I got so low
I almost threw it in
That day you drove me trembling
Back to face the world
You shook me up, you set me straight
No pity for a whispering fool
I've been so long in love with you
Though sometimes it don't show
So long in with you
I just thought you should know
