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 back, let me get back, let me get 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 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

Ooh, it's been a long time since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right, oh yeah
Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby, let my love come in, oh, yeah

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

Yeah, hey, yeah, hey
Yeah, hey, yeah, hey

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

Been a long time, a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
