Saw you there on the barstool as I walked in   And the look we gave each other said we both need a friend   Is this the first time you've come here in all the nights you've been alone   Searching for something that just isn't at home   How long has it been when's the last time he kissed you   My you sure look lovely in that dress so tight and thin   There's a look in your eye that cries somebody love me   And I wonder how long has it been   I sat down at your table and we shared a drink or two   All the things that first look told me now I find are really true   Someone's neglect has left an emptiness where love used to be   Then you reached out and touched my hand softly whispered to me   How long has it been when's the last time she held you   And made you feel wanted and needed and loved   There's a look in your eye that cries somebody love me   And I wonder how long has it been
