I'm sorry baby, but I can't afford to stay
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday
I love you baby, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly

Same thing every morning
Tell me what's it all about
I get those same old blues every night

I miss you already, baby, more than words can say
Seems like I've been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days
I love you baby, you know I woudn't tell you no lies
If you don't believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes

Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay
I love you babe, never more will I go away
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies
No more running 'round, no more phony alibis
