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



(Babe...) oooh, I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)

(oooh yeah) Sweet little girl (ooh yeah, been gone so long)

been away so long



Now listen to me: 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... cares



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...



(Babe...) Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...

I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long

(Babe...) I want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)

So I made up my mind, I 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

'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good times

Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine



Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)

(You've been gone too long)
