I thought I'd learned to behave   but I don't feel I'm acting my age   Once in a while   And though things may not be the same   you have helped me feel no pain   all of my life      I wanted to say   to you   We've come a long, long way   There's so much to say   Still have a long, long way      You've seen me at my worst   and I've seen you in the reverse   We are equal   And no matter what happens from here   no matter where life ends, my dear   I will be grateful      I wanted to say   to you   We've come a long, long way   There's so much to say   We've come a long, long way      (La la la la la la)      I thought I'd learned to behave   but I don't feel I'm acting my age   Once in a while   And no matter what happens from here   no matter where life ends, my dear   I will be grateful      I wanted to say   to you   We've come a long, long way   There's so much to say   We've come a long, long way      (Oo ah)
