When I read your letter
I couldn't believe that you'd gone
I dialled your number
But no one answered your phone
I asked your friends to tell me
If they knew where you were
They said that 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 else's car
End drive off laughing in the night

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way
You could have told me not waited for so long

I've tried to forget you
But I found myself walking the streets
I went to the doctor
And he gave me something to sleep
I've sent you telegrams
But you haven't answered one
Your mother told me I best leave you all 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 didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way
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 won't hear from me again
For so long
I hope you're pleased with what you've done

Why didn't you tell me ?Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.Not waited for so long.
