[Intro]
Ooh, baby (Mm, baby, come back)
Baby, please come back home (Mm, baby, come back)
Darlin', please come back home (Mm, baby, come back)
'Cause I can't stand it, I just can't stand it (Mm, baby, aah)
[Verse 1]
Broke your heart and now you're gone
Misused your love, I did you wrong
I never thought I'd see the day
You'd get your coat and walk away (Walk away, walk away)
But I'm sorry about it, baby
[Chorus]
Baby, please, oh, baby
Come back home
Girl, I know I treated you wrong (Baby, please come back home)
Baby, please, oh, baby
Come back home
Girl, I'm 'bout to blow my top
If this heartache you don't stop
[Verse 2]
I hope my beggin' you will give
The pain within I made you feel (Made you feel, made you feel)
Once was blind, but now I see
Girl, how much you mean to me
I'm so sorry about it, babe
[Chorus]
Ooh, please
Come back home
Girl, I'll never treat you wrong, no, no
Baby, please, oh, baby
Come back home
Girl, I'm 'bout to go insane
Any time I hear your name
Ooh, baby
[Bridge]
(Mm, baby, come back)
Ooh, baby (Mm, baby, come back)
Darlin', please come back home (Mm, baby, come back)
Wherever you may be, girl, just come back home (Mm, baby, come back)
Hurry back to me, baby, come back home (Mm, baby, come back)
'Cause I can't stand it, I can't stand it
[Verse 3]
Salty tears are in my eyes
Oh, can't you see I apologise? (Apologise, apologise)
The heartaches that I made you know, ooh baby
I'll make them leave forever more
I said I was so sorry, baby
[Chorus]
Another day has passed and gone
I find it hard to carry on (Baby, baby, come back home)
If she would only write me a simple letter
It would make me feel so much (Baby, baby, come back home)
But until then, baby, please (Please come back home)
Come back home
Girl, I'll never treat you wrong
'Cause I can't stand it, darling
I can't stand it, baby
Being left all alone, oh baby (Love and need you, come on home)
Baby, please
