Life is dull since she went away,
I wrote her the other day,
I still love her the same old way,
Last I seen her was in May,
She's been gone way too long,
She was my constant obsession,
How could I have been so wrong,
I wanted her for my possession,
What I should do is set her free,
But, I said that's not for me,
She's been gone too long,
I really did love her so,
But all she said to me was 'no.'
How could she not love me,
Isn't it plain to see.
That I'm a good person at heart,
Didn't she know it from the start,
She's been gone too long.
Nickey, you've been gone too long,
I want you back and here to stay,
Nickey, can't you hear this song,
Last I seen you was in May.
You've been gone too long.
