Lyrics:

This melancholy classic spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard R&B singles chart and went to #3 on that publication’s pop music chart in 1963. The backup singers on the recording are The Dells.
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop)
Hello stranger
(Ooh) It seems so good to see you back again
How long has it been?
(Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Ooh) It seems like a mighty long time

Ohh, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm I'm so glad
(Ooh) You stopped by to say hello to me
Remember that's the way it used to be
Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time
Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby
Ooh, it seems like a mighty long time

(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) Oh, oh, oh
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) Ah, yes I'm so glad
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) You're here again
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)

Oh oh oh, If you're not gonna stay
(Ooh) Please don't tease me
Like you did before
Because I still love you so
(Ooh) Although it seems like a mighty long time
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Ooh) It seems like a mighty long time

(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) Oh
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) Ohh, my, my, my, my
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) I'm so happy
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) That you're here at last
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) Ohh, my love
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby) You're my, my love
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, my baby)
