I knew that when I saw That my life would soon move over from the fast lane Gone would be the days Of all by drinkin' and my carrying on But when I settled down, the party king uncrowned This stubborn memory hadn't faded Too many dumb mistakes and all the grief it makes Left nothing else to be debated And if you say that you understand then you're lyin' But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny it Baby's coming back Baby's coming back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way If I had a dollar for every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun But that couldn't shoot away The bull's eye that she made on my heart And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go Baby's coming back Baby's coming back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown But when she said she'd give me one more chance I said knock three times when you arrive Baby's coming back Baby's coming back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah Baby's coming back, my darling Baby's coming back, the feeling I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
