Come On Home

Baby, come home

And be welcome to stay

Baby, tell me you're comin' home

Livin' alone is so lonely

I never should ever have run you away

I knew the day we met

You brought my love a lot

You got me so upset

I forgot you was really jive

Still when I took you in

My heart was rulin' me

Finally I put you out

'Cause you only was foolin' me

But if you're broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

I know you ain't no good

I know your ways are bad

I'd quit you if I could

But without you I'm goin' mad

I'm hopin' every day

Maybe you'll settle down

'Cause I'm in love with you

And I ain't 'bout to turn around

So if you're broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

What are you doin'?

You're standin' around the corner

And meanwhile your home's goin' to ruin

What are you, stupid?

There's many a cat just lookin' for such as that

Woman didn't mean it

She would never be sayin' it

Many a woman wouldn't take you back

If you were bent on down and really on bended knee

To come and see, tellin' you really where it's at

Get together, get together

Get it? Runnin', crawlin', creepin', stumblin', fallin'

Many a night of stoppin' and thinkin'

While you're sittin' around at home and gettin' fat

And generally playin' it cool

Hurry it up and head for home

'Cause women you'll find will change your mind

Why you gotta take the time to figure it out?

I'll tell you, baby, home is where it's at

Figure it out and you'll get it together

I figured it out, soon as you said it

I got it together and figured it out

What am I gonna do? I've gotta make it

'Cause lonely nights are terrible, terrible, terrible

Tired of lookin', home and cookin'

I go for that, that's where it's at

Got it together and figured out already

Got it together and figured I must eat steady

Steady with a ball is really better than hot dogs now

And never just a sandwich in a sack

So what a relief, don't you take me back

Now we got another chance to get together

Nuts with pretendin', what's with pretendin'?

I messed around and acted bad and lost my pad

And now my baby's give me another chance to get together

What's there to talk and talk and talk about?

What's there to squawk and squawk and squawk about?

What? You just got to come home

Man doin' what he want to

Spend all of his time stayin' at home

Sweet home, home

You dig me? You pretty baby

You heard right, come on home

Mama's gonna treat you so you'll never roam

'Cause what's gotta be, gotta be

And you, you're the only man for me

I don't want you to be misled

Mean what I said

Come on, come on, come on

I sure thought I was puttin' you out

I sure thought I was happy when away

Puttin' you down was tearin' me up

That's the reason I'm callin' you home to say

Everybody's gonna tell me I'm a dunce

And man, I really and truly, truly, truly, truly, truly can dig it

I really and truly, truly can dig it

I really can dig it, I really can dig it

I really can dig it, I really can dig it

Maybe I'm a dunce, I can believe it

We don't love but once

So you see, baby

Let people call me dumb

For makin' love with you

But when you go I'm numb

So what else am I gonna do?

Maybe I'll take you back

Maybe you'll do me right

Tired of lonely days

And of many a lonely night

So if you're broke again

And you need a friend

Come on home

And be welcome to stay

Baby, tell me you're comin' home

Livin' alone is so lonely

I never should ever have run you away

Baby, come home
