Baby, Come On Home

When your baby

Packs up and leaves you

You see her train

Disappear out of sight

What would you give

If you had the power

To hold back

That long, lonely night

And I keep praying

(Baby, come on home)

Wherever you might be

Come on home to me

I need you

I used to take her lips for granted

All of her kisses (Kisses) tasted the same (Same)

But now, she's gone, gone

And, oh, what I would give

Just to see her, just to hear her call my name

She can say it so sweet

(Baby, come on home) Come on home

I'm afraid you're coming home

One long, lonely night

She never wore

Bright colored dresses

Didn't like perfume (Perfume)

Diamonds and lace (Lace)

But I wanted parties

And a big time woman

Now all I want

God knows all I need

Is to see her face

And hear her call my name again and say

(Baby, I'm coming home)

Oh, if you only knew

It's still around here for now

I need you, baby

Please come home
