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

(Babe) ooh, I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)
(Ooh, yeah)
Sweet little girl
(Ooh, yeah, been gone so long)
You've 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, woohoo

(Babe) baby, please come home (come on home) home yeah
I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long
(Babe) I want you to please come home, oh (come on home)
(Ooh, yeah)
(Ya been gone too long)

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 walkdown

Keep thinkin' about it

Ooh babe

Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)
(Ya been gone too long)

I want you to, oh! (Babe, come on home)
I want you to come back running home to me woman (ooh, yeah)
I want you to think
