It's been a long time since I rock and roll
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I came 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 came 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
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
