You've Been Around Too Long Lyrics - Carole King

Ooh, I hear you say attitudes and times have changed 

And I know the feeling--it's long overdue 

You say this is a time to right old wrongs 

Tell me now, if it's true 

You got the mind, you got the time 

How long are you gonna wait to do what you want to do now 

You've been around too long 

Not to notice what's going on in town 

You've got to understand 

I'm taking my life in my own hands 

And gaining ground--look around 

Peace of mind 

You got yours--I want mine 

If you really want to do right by me 

See what you want to see 

But let me be what I want to be

'Cause you've been around too long 

Not to realize what's going on inside 

I'm just like you 

I'm doing the best that I can do to make my stride
