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
