After All These Years We didn't have the time to think things over We had a lot of fun, we had some tears seem so long After all these years Rock 'n' roll has got a reputation Bad boys cause a lot of fear But I never meant to really hurt you Oh no no After all these years CHORUS: Travelling the world in a rock 'n' roll band It's in my blood, it's in my blood Oh but you know it's good to get back home Dancing with your sister on a Saturday night It's understood, it's understood When every boy and girl ooh they're rocking all over the world CHORUS We didn't have the time to think things over We had a lot of fun we had some tears so long After all these years After all these years [written but apparently not sung:] (no more lonely nights) After all these years [ditto:] (goodbye loneliness) After all these years
