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 did'nt 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 found myself walking the street
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep
I've sent you telegrams but you havent 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 did'nt 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 you're satisfied ,you wont hear from me again
for so long ,I hope you're pleased with what youd done

Why did'nt you tell me
not leave me this way
oooh ,you should have told me
not waited for so long
