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
Oh yeah
Open your arms, opens 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

Yeah! Hey!
Yeah! Hey!
Yeah! Hey!
Yeah! Hey!

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.
