Where Have You Been?
It's been a while
You seem to have lost your ability to smile
Where have you been?
It's been some time
We both have changed, but you I hardly recognise
You say this time
It will not happen again
Straight and narrow
But we know it's just empty words
Where have you been, you crazy guy?
You seem to have lost that sparkle in your eyes
Where have you been that's changed your life?
Whatever happened to your charismatic style?
Take it easy
One day you might just go too far
Listen to me
This song isn't just empty words
Can I help it if I care?
Bad deals you've had your share
Where have you been?
Was it worthwhile?
It's fair enough, you have to give these things a try
Where have you been that's changed you so?
For such a long time you've been really laying low
Maybe this time you have learned your lesson well
Straight and narrow, this time there's no more empty words
