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, whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Oh, seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Makin' vows that just can't work right
Ah, yeah, open your arms, opens your arms, open your arms,
Baby, let my love come running in, let it
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.

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.
