Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a time
I used to call you on my very own
We were so happy, woman
Talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone
Then one day
I set you up to walk right outta my life
Leavin' me all by myself
All alone, to cry every night
[Verse 2]
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
Whoa, I want you to come back home, yeah
(Oh, yeah) Sweet little girl
(You've been gone too long) You've been away so long
Now, listen to me
[Verse 3]
I said, I made up my mind
Woman, when you left me there, oh
I was gonna find another sweet lover
Who's gonna feel all of my, all of my, all of my care
So, I met a sweet little girl
Just about as nice as she could be, oh
I fell in love with that woman
But she turned around and did the same thing again to me, oh
[Verse 4]
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
Oh, baby, baby, please come home, home, yeah, it's alright
(Oh, yeah) I know
(You've been gone too long) You've been away so long
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
I want you to please come home
(Oh, yeah, you've been gone too long)
[Verse 5]
So, I made up my mind
I'm gonna crawl right back to you, woman
I'm gonna plead, and plead, and plead, yeah
Till you're here by my side
I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
Because I keep thinkin' about all the good times
Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine
[Verse 6]
Oh, babe, babe, babe, please come home, yeah
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
(Oh, yeah, you've been gone too long)
I want you to, oh, oh
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
I want you to come back runnin' home to me, woman
(Oh, yeah, you've been gone too long)
I want you to think about when we walked through the trees together
You know we had such a real good time
Whoa, here they come
(Babe, babe, babe, come on home)
I believe it's autumn callin'
Can you feel the brown leaf against your face?
You wanna sing and shout, say
(Oh, yeah)
