| It took a one-way ticket to nowhere
|
| To make me know that I still care
|
| Those lonely nights without you in sight
|
| Were too much for me to bear
|
| But, oh, I let my pride
|
| Cast your love aside
|
| It took a one-way ticket to nowhere
|
| To make me know I love you
|
| Baby, I love you
|
| (It took a one-way ticket)
|
| I tried to get you off of my mind
|
| By wasting some other girls time
|
| Didn’t have no conversation
|
| Didn’t know my destination
|
| I just laughed to keep from crying
|
| My smile was out of place
|
| It showed all over my face
|
| It took a one-way ticket to nowhere
|
| To make me know I love you, oh, baby
|
| (It took a one-way ticket)
|
| Oh, forgive me, girl
|
| For I know now that it won’t be long
|
| But all you got to do is keep
|
| A light burning in the window
|
| Till T.D. come marching home
|
| Cause I’ll be there, baby
|
| Cause I love you, mmm
|
| That’s why I’m coming back home to you
|
| Cause I love you, oh, baby
|
| Turn around, I got to see my baby
|
| Right now, baby
|
| I’m coming on home to you, mmm
|
| Mama, mama, mama, mama
|
| I got to have you, I love you… |
