If You Don't Come Back

Well, a noise woke me up this morning

I looked through the Venetian blind

The car was gone and you were gone

And I almost lost my mind

If you don't come back (if you don't come back)

Well, if you don't come back today, baby (if you don't come back)

Well, you can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away

I threw myself up against the wall now

I tore my clothes and I sobbed

I ran out on the street in my stocking feet

For yelling police, I've been robbed

If you don't come back (if you don't come back)

Well, if you don't come back today, baby (if you don't come back)

Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away

Mrs. Brown's been talking about me

To the people way across the street

She said I cooked that boy now a bucket of stew

But the poor thing just won't eat

If you don't come back (if you don't come back)

Well, if you don't come back today, baby (if you don't come back)

Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away

Oh, the doctor came up to see me

Checked me with a fine tooth comb

He said, "You ain't sick, but you're gonna die

If you don't get your baby back home"

If you don't come back (if you don't come back)

Oh, if you don't come back today, baby (if you don't come back)

Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house

And take this crazy man away

If you don't come back (if you don't come back)

Oh, if you don't come back today, baby (if you don't come back)

If you don't come back to me no more (if you don't come back)
