It's been a long time since I rock and rolled 
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll 
Oh 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 
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, open 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 
Yeah 4x 
Oooh yeah, Oooh yeah x2 
It's been a long time, been a long time 
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
