Intro:

Badd11 /
Badd11 /
/
You called all the way from America
Said "Hang onto love girl"
/ Badd11
But the weeks and the months and the years
/
Passed by...
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
/ Badd11
Of that promised love
/ /
All the way from America
/ /
All the way from America
/
You called all the way from America
Said I'll soon be home girl
/ Badd11
And years and the tears and the fears,
/
Passed by...
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
/ Badd11
of that promised love
/ /
All the way from America
/ /
All the way from America
/
I stayed all alone and I waited round
For you to knock at my door
/
But the knock never came
Badd11
and no ring
/
At all....
And now I sit and wonder why
/ Badd11
You made that first call
/
All the way way from America
Badd11
I don't believe I'll stay here
/ Badd11
I don't think I want to wait here anymore
/ Badd11
And if you search for me baby
/ Badd11
Better bring some more love than you declared
/ Badd11 /
All the way from America
/ /
All the way from America
/ / /
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
/ Badd11
of that promised love
/ Badd11 /
All the way from America
/ /
All the way from America
/ /
All the way from America
/ / Badd11
