Come On Home

Come on home

And be welcome to stay

Baby, tell me you’re comin' home

Livin' alone is so lonely

I never should ever have run you away

I knew the day we met

You brought my love alive

You got me so upset

I forgot you was really jive

Still when I took you in

My heart was rulin' me

Finally I put you out

'Cause you only was foolin’ me

But if you’re broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

I know you ain’t no good

I know your ways are bad

I’d quit you if I could

But without you I’m going mad

I’m hopin’ every day

Maybe you’ll settle down

'Cause I’m in love with you

And I ain’t ‘bout to turn around

So if you’re broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

What are you doin’?

You standin' around the corner and meanwhile your home’s goin' to ruin

What are ya, stupid?

There’s many a cat just lookin' for such as that

Woman didn’t mean it she would never be saying it

Plenty o’ women wouldn’t take you back if you were bendin’ down and really on bended knee to come a plea

Tellin’ you really where it’s at

Get together

Get together, get it!

Runnin', crawlin', creepin', stumblin', fallin'

Plenty o' time for stoppin' an’ thinkin'

While you’re sittin' around at home and gettin' fat and generally playing it cool

Hurry it up and head for home

‘Cos women you find'll change their mind

While you gotta take the time to figure it out

And tell your baby home is where it’s at

Figure it out and you’ll get it together

I figured it out

Soon as you said it I got it together

And figured it out

What am I gonna do?

I’ve gotta make it

'Cause lonely nights are terrible, terrible, terrible

Tired of lookin'

Home and cookin'

I go for that, that’s where it’s at

Got it together and figured out already

Got it together and figured I must eat steady

Steady with a pot is really better than a hotdog

Now I’m here with just a sandwich in a sack

So what a relief knowin’ she’ll take me back

Now we’ve got another chance to get together

Nuts with pretendin'

What’s with pretendin'?

I messed around and acted bad and lost my pet

And now my baby’s givin' me another chance to get together

What’s there to talk and talk and talk about?

What’s there to squawk and squawk and squawk about?

What?!

You just got to come home

Man doin' what he want to

Spend all o' his time stayin' at home

Sweet home

Home

You dig me, pretty baby?

You heard right: come on home

Mama’s gonna treat you so you’ll never roam

'Cause what’s gotta be gotta be

‘N you you’re the only man for me

I don’t want you to be misled

Mean what I said

Come home, come home, come home

I should thought I was puttin' you out

I should thought I was happy you went away

Puttin' you down was tearin' me up

That’s the reason I’m callin' you home to stay

Everybody’s gonna tell me I’m a dunce and man

I really truly, truly, truly, truly, truly can dig it

I really and truly, truly can dig it

I really can dig it, I really can dig it

I really can dig it, I really can dig it

Maybe, I’m a dunce, I can believe it

We don’t love

But once

So you see, baby

Let people call me dumb

For makin' up with you

But when you go I’m numb

So what else am I gonna do?

Maybe I’ll take you back

Maybe you’ll do me right

Tired o' lonely days

And of many a lonely night

So if you’re broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

And be welcome to stay

Baby, tell me you’re comin' home

Livin' alone is so lonely

I never should ever have run you away

Baby come home
