Charlene (Bassline Edit)

Woke up this morning, found a letter that she wrote

She said she's tired that I'm always on the road

Too hard to swallow being alone

She needs someone at night that she can hold

She must have told me a thousand times before

Silent cries I used to ignore

God knows I love her

Didn't mean to hurt her

Baby, I'll be

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

(Waiting on you, babe) I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

By your side

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life

Come on home to me, Charlene

She knows I really love this old music thing

Since I was a child, it's been my dream

I can support her, treat her and spoil her

You know buy her the finer things

But I forgot about loving her

Damn the money, diamonds and pearls

What about the hard day she had with the baby

All she need is for me to love her

Baby, I'll be

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

(I'll be waiting) I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

(But I promise I'll be here) By your side

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life

Come on home to me, Charlene

Promise I can't live without her

God knows I need her loving

And it hurts so bad that's she gone

I pray that she'll come back one day

In my life

Baby, I'll be (Baby, I'll be)

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

(Sitting here waiting, baby) I won't leave

(I won't leave) Promise I'll be here to the very end

(I'll be with you for life) By your side

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life

Come on home to me, Charlene (Baby)

Oh, oh, oh

Sometimes I cry

Charlene, if you're listening, would you call on me?

Because my heart is aching
