[Verse 1]
Fate just took a wrong turn
It would appear that we don't agree
And without warning sign I stopped just in time
When you ran straight in front of me

Well I don't listen to the rumours
And I don't care who you have for tea
I think you'll find that the thief commits the crime
At the end of the book you'll see

[Chorus]
You tore me right down you've got a hold on me
I can't believe it's true but I believe in me

[Post-Chorus]
It's been so long
It's been so long

[Verse 2]
Don't ever talk to strangers
You never know what they're gonna say
And it may be a surprise right in front of your eyes
They get up, and they walk away

So the next time you see me listen
Cos I've got something I want to say
You've got the wrong attitude and you act like a fool
And you will pass by within a day
[Chorus]
You tore me right down you've got a hold on me
I can't believe it's true but I believe in me

[Chorus 2]
You tore me right down you've got a hold on me
I can't believe it's true it's just the end of time

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
You tore me right down you've got a hold on me
I can't believe it's true but I believe in me

[Chorus]
You tore me right down you've got a hold on me
I can't believe it's true but I believe in me

[Outro]
It's been so long
It's been so long
It's been so long
It's been so long
It's been so long
