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
oooh, I want you to come back home 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…
Baby, please come home, hoome yeah…
I know, been away so long
I want you to please come home, oh
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
