You called all the way from America   And said hang on to love girl   But the weeks and the months and the tears   Passed by   And my eyes couldn't stand the strain   Of that promised love      All the way from America      You called all the way from America   And said I'll soon be home girl   But the years and the tears and the fears   Passed by   And my heart couldn't stand the pain   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 and no ring   At all   And now I sit and wonder why   You made that first call      All the way from America      I don't believe I'll stay here   I don't think I wanna wait here any more   And if you search for me baby   Better bring some more love than you declared      All the way from America
