How did it come to this? 
You livin' in your world and me dyin' in mine 
Lord knows I don't deserve this 
I never gave you any reason to treat me unkind 
Each day that goes by I grow lonelier 
Sadder than the day before 
I'd give anything just to hold you in my arms 
Or see you standin' at my door 

'cause darlin', you mean more than words could explain 
Ooh darlin', the pain, it cuts so deep 

And it's only a matter of time 
Before I go right out of my mind 
I don't care who was wrong 
I only know that when you're gone 
I think about you every day 
Why'd you have to go away and leave me all alone? 
Won't you please come home, baby? 
(Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) 
Come home 
(Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) 

Why did we ever part? 
You were my lover and I was your friend 
How did this argument start? 
Couldn't we just kiss and start over again? 
Whoever said all good things soon come to an end 
Never had anybody like you 
There's a pounding in the pit of my heart 
Whenever I think of what we used to do 
(Ooh, the things we use to do) 

'cause darlin', you mean more than words could explain 
Darlin', darlin', the pain cut so deep 

And it's only a matter of time 
'Fore I go right out of my mind 
I don't care who was wrong 
I only know that when you're gone 
I think about you every day 
Why'd you have to go away, leave me all alone? 
Won't you please come home, baby? 
(Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) 
I can't take it no more 
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby 

Looky here 
I got somethin' I want to say 
You know I never treated you bad 
You know I was the best you ever had 
I know it's just a matter of time 
'Fore I go right out of my mind 

Ow! 
Baby, help me 
Oh baby 

It's just a matter of time before I go right out of mind 
I don't care who was wrong, baby 
All I know, all I know is that when you're gone 
I say when you're gone 
I think about it every day any old kind of way 
Why'd you leave me, why'd you leave me? 
Why'd you go away? 
Baby, baby, won't you come home? 

(Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) 
Come on, come on home 
Help me ? come on, come on home 
(Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone)
Somebody help me 
Come on, come on home
