Lyrics
Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

I wanna tell all you people

I dropped a penny in the well

Hoping you would come back soon

I couldn't believe what I heard

A fortune teller told me

My love with you was doomed

I hope her reading was wrong

I hope she was wrong

'Cause you been gone too long come home

Hey gong gong gong yeah

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

I can't sleep at night for thinking of you

Every night about two

My love for you comes tumblin' down

I can't stand being here alone

I start a feelin' and a fumblin'

But you ain't nowhere around

I hope her reading was wrong

I hope she was wrong

'Cause you been gone too long come home

Hey gong gong gong yeah

Hey gong gong gong yeah

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah

Gong gong gong gong gong gong gong yeah
