[Verse 1]
All the leaves of the willow
They wave goodbye, flow with the wind
When the winter comes they're all falling down
Leaves the willow all alone

[Chorus]
Why'd you keep me waiting so long?
You keep me waiting, hanging on
Why'd you keep me waiting so long?
So long, so long

[Verse 2]
I shop 'til I drop and I drink 'til I drown
I keep myself out on the town
'Cause I don't want to come back to an empty place
Just like that sad lonely old willow, his leaves are my tears

[Chorus]
Why'd you keep me waiting so long?
You keep me waiting, hanging on
Why'd you keep me waiting so long?
So long, so long

[Bridge]
La-la, la-la, la-la
Leaves, tears
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down
[Chorus]
Why'd you keep me waiting so long?
You keep me waiting, hanging on (Ooh, so long)
Why'd you treat me so wrong?
Yeah, so long, so long, so long

[Outro]
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down (So long)
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down (So long)
Leaves and tears, they fall down
Leaves and tears, they fall down (So long)
Leaves and tears, they fall down
So long, so long
