Supremes – Nathan Jones lyrics

[Lead: In Unison/Jean Terrell (overdubbed)]
You packed your bags
As I recall
And you walked slowly
Down the hall
You said you had to get away
To ease your mind
And all you needed
Was just a little time
Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me
You never called, oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long

(Gone too long, gone too long)

If a woman
Could die of tears
Nathan Jones, I wouldn't be here
The key that you're holding

[Mary:]
(holding)

Won't fit my door
And there's no room in my heart
For you no more
Because, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me (ooh-ooh!)
You never called, oh, oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long

(Gone too long)

(Doo-doo-doop!)

Nathan!
Hey! Nathan Jones
Hmmm-mmm
Nathan Jones!
Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me (you never wrote me)
You never called, (you never called) oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Mm-mmm, Mm-mmm, gone too long (gone too long)
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long (gone too long)

[Mary:]
You've been gone too long

(Gone too long)
Hey!
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long (gone too long)
Oh, you've been gone (gone too long)
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long (gone too long)
Gone too long...
