[Verse 1: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone

[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

[Verse 2: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay

[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

[Bridge: Paul McCartney]

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 trust in you

And know that you will wait for me

[Verse 1: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone

[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

[Bridge: Paul McCartney]

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 trust in you

And know that you will wait for me

[Verse 2: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay

[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]

Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried

[Outro: John Lennon and Paul McCartney]

It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh, how I've been alone
