[Intro]
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera & Ronna Reeves]
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
Used to be so nice, used to be so good

[Chorus: Peter Cetera, Ronna Reeves, Both]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
When you're gone, oh, how can I even try to move on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera, Ronna Reeves, Both]
You seem so far away though you are standing near
Mmm, you made me feel alive, Something died I fear
I really tried to make it out, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? Used to be so good

[Chorus: Peter Cetera, Ronna Reeves, Both]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
When you're gone, how can I even try to hold on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Peter Cetera, Ronna Reeves, Both]
Whatever happened to our love? Ooh, I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, used to be so good

[Chorus: Both]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S

[Outro: Peter Cetera, Both]
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah (S.O.S)
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah (S.O.S)
Ooh yah, yah
Ooh yah, yah (S.O.S)
