When I get tired and a little lonely, the worlds turned it's cold back on me When I'm about to swear I ain't got a friend left to my name Instead of sinking a little lower I start making tracks on over To a place where the sun shines day and night and where I know I'll hear you say Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away When I feel a lonesome night coming on, every thing I did all day went wrong There's a black cloud following me around and I just can't get away Instead of sinking a little lower I start making tracks on over To a place where the sun shines day and night and I know I'll hear you say Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away
