[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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, whoa
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
[Guitar Solo]
Ahh! Ahh!
[Verse 3]
Ohh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just can't work right
Ah, yeah, open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby, let my love come running in, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
[Refrain]
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
