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)
(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!
Woman when you left me there, oh!
