It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah
It won't be long yeah, till I belong to you
Every night when everybody has fun
Here am I sitting all on my own
It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah

Since you left me, I'm so alone
Now you're coming, you're coming on home
I'll be good like I know I should
You're coming home, you're coming home
Every night the tears come down from my eyes
Every day I've done nothing but cry

@TuneInTurnOnDropOutt In retrospect I think I agree with you, but it's still a great, great cover. I will at least say I like it AS MUCH as the original.

Not to mention that they lifted - NEARLY DIRECTLY - from the band SPARKS....who do it sooo much better!!

@pal3456 No problem. You just got me excited to hear a cover (which I always love, obviously). No argument from me about the early Sparks comparison...
