When I get tired and a little lonely, the worlds turned its 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 Ill hear you say [Chorus:] 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 Ill hear you say [Chorus x2]
