It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back
Baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has

It's been a long time since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back
Baby, where I come from
Whoa, whoa, oh

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Oh, seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Oh, yeah, open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
Yeah!

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
