So Long

So long
When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone
I dialled your number but no one answered your phone
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were
They said that they thought they 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. Not waited for so long

I've tried to forget you, but I found myself walking the streets
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 all 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!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long
For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were
For so long, I 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!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long
