Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh stairs, you look so high tonight
Climbin' up with all my might
Where I got no heart to be
'Cause he ain't comin' home no more
[Verse 2]
Oh room, I'm all alone with you
Tell me, what's a woman to do?
When her man is gone
And he ain't comin' home no more
[Verse 3]
I'm all choked up, inside me, tryna hold back my tears
You know, I just can't get used
I just can't used to this loneliness
How am I gonna face the empty years?
[Verse 4]
Oh chair, oh chair, you sittin' silent there
Don't you even care
That my baby's gone, yeah, yeah
And he ain't comin' home no more
[Verse 5]
Yes, for my baby's gone
And he ain't comin' home no more
