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, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes it has
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 runnin' in
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
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
Been a long time, been a long time
Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
