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
