About a month ago I met a man He said "Hello, my dear" and kissed my hand From there he took me where I'd never been I swear I'll never be the same again Chorus: Tell me, where is he? Where is the one I love? Where is he? Tell me, where is he? Where is the one I love? He's gone and he left me brokenhearted He had a date each night my house at ten I had a feeling that our love would never end But soon enough this tearful night has been I wish I wouldn't be the same again Repeat Chorus twice (Long instrumental break) He had a date each night my house at ten I had a feeling that our love would never end But soon enough this tearful night has been I wish I wouldn't be the same again Repeat Chorus Hey, tell me, where is he Where is the one I love? Where is he? Oh, oh, oh, where is he? Where is the one I love? He's gone, he's gone, he's gone, gone, gone Somebody help the town Somebody help the town (Where is he?) Ah, where is the one I love? (Where is he?) Oh, where is the one I love? (Where is he?) Hey, where is the one I love? (Where is he? Where is the one I love? Where is he?) (Instrumental till fade)
