| Once upon a time
|
| A long, long time ago
|
| Wherever you’d lead me
|
| I would surely follow
|
| Girl, you put me through
|
| Some pain and misery
|
| And now you are
|
| Standing on my doorstep
|
| Telling me how much you need me
|
| Baby, ain’t nobody home (nobody's home)
|
| Ain’t nobody home (nobody's home)
|
| How many times I begged
|
| For you to come home
|
| But you laughed at me
|
| And said let me alone
|
| Through my burning tears
|
| I saw you walk away
|
| And now you’re
|
| Begging me to forgive you
|
| But this time, baby
|
| It’s your turn to beg
|
| Baby, ain’t nobody home (nobody's home)
|
| (Nobody's home) ain’t nobody home
|
| Girl, I used to love you
|
| (Nobody knows)
|
| In ways no one else would love you
|
| (The trouble I’ve seen)
|
| Gave you everything that I own
|
| Girl, you can’t come back here
|
| Ain’t nobody home
|
| (Nobody's home)
|
| Once upon a time
|
| When you went on your way
|
| Girl, I hoped and prayed
|
| That you’d come back some day
|
| But time has made some changes
|
| Turned me upside down
|
| So, you can beg me to forgive you
|
| But this time, baby
|
| You can turn right around
|
| Ain’t nobody home
|
| (Ain't nobody home)
|
| Ain’t nobody home
|
| (Ain't nobody home)
|
| Baby, there ain’t nobody home |
