[Verse 1] There was a time, I used to call you on my very own We were so happy woman, Talking for hours and hours on the telephone Then one day, I set you up to walk right out of my life Leaving me all by myself, All alone, to cry every night [Chorus] (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 [Verse 2] Now listen to me: I said I made up my mind Woman when you left me there, oh I was going to find another sweet lover Who is going to 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 [Chorus] (Babe...) Baby, please come home (come on home) home yeah I know, (you been gone too long) been away so long (Babe...) I want you to please come home, oh (come on home...) [Verse 3] So I made up my mind, I going to crawl right back to you woman I am going to plead and plead and plead, yeah, 'Till you are here by my side I cannot even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down Because I keep thinking about all the good times Keep thinking about it, I want to make you mine [Chorus] Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home) (You have been gone too long)
