So Long
When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone
I dialled your number but no one answered the phone
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were
they said they thought that you were ill
I hired a detective to try and find out where you are
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France
A watchman saw you climb into someone else's car
And drive off laughing in the night
Why didn't you tell me?
Not leave me this way
You could have told me
And not waited for so long
I've tried to forget you but I find myself walking the street
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep
I've sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one
Your mother told me I best leave you well alone I hope you're satisfied now you've done this thing to me
I hope you're pleased with what you've done
Why didn't you tell me?
Not leave me this way
Oh you could have told me
and not waited for so long
For so long I never realized just exactly who you were
For so long I've never realized the girl I had before
For so long, I hope you're satisfied you won't hear from me again
For so long, I hope you're pleased with what you've done
Why didn't you tell me?
Not leave me this way
Oh you should have told me
and not waited for so long
