It's been so long
Since I've seen you
Ooh ahh ooh
But since I've got you on my mind

Tell me what
You have been through
Ooh ahh ooh
What you been doin' all this time

Since you left
(Since you left)
Since you left home
(Since you left home)

I have been
(Oh I have been)
All alone
(All alone)

Since you ran
(Since you ran)
Since you ran away
(Ran away)
Tell me why
You didn't stay

I was waiting for this day
Ooh ahh ooh
I was waiting for this day to come

Soon I forgot
You ran away
Ooh ahh ooh
Now you've got nowhere else to run

Since you left
(Since you left)
Since you left home
(Since you left home)

I have been
(Oh I have been)
All alone
(All alone)
Since you ran
(Since you ran)
Since you ran away
(Ran away)

Tell me why
You didn't stay

You're asking me
To forgive
Ooh ahh ooh
You're asking me to understand

You had another life to live
Ooh ahh ooh
And now you want me back again

Since you left
(Since you left)
Since you left home
(Since you left home)
I have been
(Oh I have been)
Oh, oh so alone
(All alone)

Since you ran
(Since you ran)
Since you ran away
(Ran away)

Oh, please tell me why
You didn't stay
