Lyrics

I had to call you on the phone
Because I feel so all alone
Don't like this being on my own
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
I leave the door unlocked in case
Like me, you'll find you're out of place
I give the world to see your face
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
I've learned a lot that I didn't know
I was a fool when I let you go
Since you've been gone, it's so very clear
Life is just an empty thing without you, dear
I made an awfully big mistake
Oh, what a dear friends love can make
Please give my heart another brake
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
I leave the door unlocked in case
Like me, you'll find you're out of place
I'd give the world to see your face
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
I set the clock to ring at eight
It didn't work, so I was late
I'm worried 'cause I'm losing weight
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
Our pet canary simply won't see
There's something wrong, the doorbell won't ring
When you're away, it's so very clear
Life is just a bow of sour milk, my dear
I'm tired of eating food that's canned
And nothing's turned out like I've planned
I know that you will understand
Can't you, won't you hurry home?
Won't you hurry home?
Won't you hurry home?
