Oh-woh-woh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... You never expect it to be in your wildest dreams So take a step backwards for a little while You'll find it there It's somethin' that I can't explain So I remain trapped inside Still holdin' strong Still holding o-on to you To you Take me back to you It's been a long time Although every night I think of you It's such a lonely life I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away I didn't know that it would be your last time with me You said - life ain't worth living if nobody cared You said that all the time Oh I take a step back and see your starin' eyes I see you on the day you die Take me back to you It's been a long time Although every night I think of you It's such a lonely life (yeah) And take me back to you Take me back to you Oh-woh-woh-oh-oh Take me back to you It's been a long time Although every night I think of you It's such a lonely life Oh-oh-oh-oh Take me back to you Take me back to you
