So Long

When I read your letter, I couldn't believe that you'd gone

I dialed your number, but no one answered the phone

I asked your friends to tell me, if they knew you 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

Ooh, you could have told me

Not waited for so long

I tried to forget you, but I find myself walking the street

I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep

I sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one

You 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

Ooh, 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 please with what you've done

Why didn't you tell me?

Not leave me this way

Ooh, you could have told me

Not waited for so long
