Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So long I've been needin' your love
Hear me pleadin', love
My heart is bleedin'
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 2]
I know folks are sayin'
From you, I've been strayin'
But still I keep prayin'
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 3]
Poor, lonesome me
Why can't you see?
Let bygones be
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 4]
Don't be hesitating
Too long I've been waiting
Love, I'm agitating
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 5]
Poor, lonesome me
Why can't you see?
Let bygones be
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 6]
Don't be hesitating
Too long I've been waiting
Love, I'm agitating
Take me back where I belong
[Verse 7]
Take me back, now
Where I belong
Take me back where I belong
Whoa-whoa
Written by: Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach
