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, 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 life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
Woah oo oh oo oh oh
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Waaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

(guitar solo)

Oohhh
It's been a long time since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, open your arms,
Open your arms, baby let my love come in, oh oh, 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,

Been a long time, a long time,
a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely,lonely time.
