| 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 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 lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, lonely time
Refrain
Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, opens your arms,
Open your arms,/ baby, let my love come running in.//
It's been a long time,
Been a lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely, lonely time
Refrain
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 lonely, lonely, lonely,
lonely,/ lonely time |
