When I read your letter I couldnt believe that youd gone
 I dialed 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 elses car
 and drive off laughing in the night
 
 Why didnt you tell me
 not leave me this way
 oooh ,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
 Ive sent you telegrams but you havent answered one
 your mother told me I best leave you well alone
 I hope youre satisfied ,now youve done this thing to me
 I hope youre pleased with what youve done
 
 Why didnt you tell me
 not leave me this way
 oooh ,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 youre satisfied ,you wont hear from me again
 for so long ,I hope youre pleased with what youd done
 
 Why didnt you tell me
 not leave me this way
 oooh ,you should have told me
 not waited for so long
