Go Home

I see where this is headed

And I'd love to go along

But you got some ties that bind you

To a place I don't belong

I know you're heart is aching

And you think I've got the cure

But once the dawn is breaking, you may not be so sure

It just takes time, just a little more time

To get it right

You say you don't love her

You say you hardly ever touch

But if that's how you really feel

Why do you talk about her so much?

I think you've got some issues

That need to be resolved

And you'll never get them answered if we get involved

It just takes time, time to get it right

You need to go home tonight

So go on on home to the women who loves you

Take back all those mean things you said

Then lie down beside her

And drive her outa her head

Go on home to the woman, the woman you love

Tell her you didn't mean to be unkind

Go home, go home

Before I change my mind

Those pictures in your wallet

Of those kids that you don't remember

They're waiting at home for you right now

To walk through that front door

So go on and do the right thing

I know you can ace this test

If you're the man I know you are

You won't do any of this

It just takes time, time to get it right

You need to go home tonight

So go on home to the woman who loves you

And try to make amends

And if this night ends the way that it should

You and I will still be just friends

Go on home to the woman you love

Once you get there, you gon' be fine

Go home, please go home

And when you get home to the woman who loves you

She better get down on her knees

And give thanks to the lord above

For another chance to please a man like you, lord

'Cause that's what I'm gonna do

If you don't go home tonight
