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-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 Making vows that just can't work right, oh yeah Open your arms, opens your arms Open your arms, baby, let love come running in, yeah 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
