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
Mm-baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
It's been a long time since I 'walked in the moonlight'
Makin' vows just couldn'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
A long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
(Yes it has)
(Rock on!)
It's been a long time since 'The Book of Love'
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
Mm-baby, where I come from, whoa-whoa, whoa-oh-oh-hoh
It's been a long time, been a long time
A lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, aah
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
It's been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely lonely, lonely time
