Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I read your letter, I couldn't believe that you'd gone

I dialed your number, but no one answered the phone

I asked your friends to tell me, if they knew you where you were

They said they thought that you were ill

[Verse 2]

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are

He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France

A watchman saw you climb into someone else's car

And drive off laughing in the night

[Verse 3]

Why didn't you tell me?

Not leave me this way

Ooh, you could have told me

Not waited for so long

[Verse 4]

I tried to forget you, but I find myself walking the street

I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep

I sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one

You mother told me, I best leave you well alone

[Verse 5]

I hope you're satisfied

Now you've done this thing to me

I hope you're pleased with what you've done

[Verse 6]

Why didn't you tell me?

Not leave me this way

Ooh, you could have told me

Not waited for so long

[Verse 7]

(For so long) I never realized just exactly who you were

(For so long) I never realized the girl I had before

(For so long) I hope you're satisfied, you won't hear from me again

(For so long) I hope you're please with what you've done

[Verse 8]

Why didn't you tell me?

Not leave me this way

Ooh, you could have told me

Not waited for so long
