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

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

Seems so long
Since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Open your arms
Open your arms
Open your arms
Baby
Let my love come running in
It's been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
