| When your baby
|
| Packs up and leaves you
|
| You see her train
|
| Disappear out of sight
|
| What would you give
|
| If you had the power
|
| To hold back that long, lonely night
|
| And I keep praying
|
| (Baby, come on home)
|
| Wherever you might be
|
| Come on home to me
|
| I need you
|
| I used to take her lips for granted
|
| All of her kisses tasted the same
|
| But now, she’s gone, gone
|
| And, oh, what I would give
|
| Just to see her, just to hear her
|
| Call my name
|
| (Baby, come on home)
|
| I’m afraid you’re coming home
|
| One long, lonely night
|
| She never wore
|
| Bright colored dresses
|
| Didn’t like perfume
|
| Diamonds and lace
|
| But I wanted parties and a big time, woman
|
| Now all I want
|
| God knows all I need is to see her face
|
| And hear her call my name again
|
| And say
|
| (Baby, I’m coming home)
|
| I need you, baby
|
| Please come home |
