Once upon a time,
A long long time ago,
Wherever you'd lead me,
I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through
Some pain and misery
And now you are standing
On my doorstep,
Telling me
How much you need me
Baby, ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
How many times
I begged for you to come home,
But you laughed at me
And said let me alone
Through my falling tears
I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me
To forgive you,
But this time, baby,
It's your turn to beg
Baby, ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Girl, I used to love you,
Placed no one else above you
Gave you everything that I own
Girl, you can't come back here
Ain't nobody home
Once upon a time,
When you went on your way
Girl, I hoped and prayed, that
You'd come back some day
But time has made some changes,
Turned me upside down
So, you can beg me
To forgive you,
But this time, baby,
You can turn right around
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Girl, you hurt me once
I hear you knockin'
