Boomerang

Baby, don't get me started On how you got me so broken-hearted I'm running out of fingers, I'm running out of toes To count the times that we parted Well she called me up on the phone Said, "Come on over, boy, I'm all alone" The week before she said she's through being mine Well, now I guess she gone and changed her mind When my baby gets lonely again She'll come on back like a boomerang Baby, oh can't you see This parting's only temporary I'm counting down the minutes, I'm counting down the days 'Till you come boomeranging back to me You know she called me up on the phone Said, "I think I need some time to be alone" Next thing I know she's at my doorstep, saying, "Daddy, please" Blink of an eye, she's back down on her knees When my baby gets lonely again She'll come on back like a boomerang Baby, I've flown the coup I've stooped as low as I can stoop I'm packing up my bags, I'm running out the door I'm breaking out of the loop You know she called me up on the phone I said, "Babe, your loyal bird has flown" But by the time I get to Phoenix, I find myself forlorn I spin my wheel and head on back for home When my baby gets lonely again I'll come on back like a boomerang When my baby gets lonely again She'll come on back like a boomerang
