There was a time
I used to call you on my very own
We were so happy woman
Talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone
Then one day
I set you up to walk right outta my life
Leavin' me all by myself
All alone, to cry every night
(Babe...) oooh
I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)
(oooh yeah)
Sweet little girl (ooh yeah, been gone so long)
been away so long
Now listen to me:
I said I made up my mind
Woman when you left me there, oh
I was gonna find another sweet lover
Who's gonna feel all of my... cares
So I met a sweet little girl
Just about as nice as she could be, oh
I fell in love with that woman
But she turned around,
and did the same thing again to me...
(Babe...)
Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...
I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long
(Babe...)
I want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)
So I made up my mind
I gonna crawl right back to you woman
I'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah
'Till you're here by my side
I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good times
Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine
Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah)
(come on home)
(You've been gone too long)
