(Lennon/McCartney)

It's been a long time
Now [bad word] back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till [bad word] back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried

But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till [bad word] back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried

I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll [bad word] in you
And know that you
Will wait for me

It's been a long time
Now [bad word] back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till [bad word] back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried

I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll [bad word] in you
And know that you
Will wait for me

It's been a long time
Now [bad word] back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till [bad word] back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried

It's been a long time
Now [bad word] back home
I've been away now
Oh, how I've been alone
