I loved you, before I knew you lied 
I've always been right here 
So, don't you try to deny 
I've been right by your side 

Then you started to tell the truth 
About all the girls you knew 
I was already over heels for you 
I just don't know what to do 

Oh, I, I try but I can't shake you 
Oh, I, I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, stay out late, but don't even call 
As long as you come home. 
Tell me you love me, when you don't at all 
As long as you come home 
Say you were, when you wasn't hangin' out with your boys 
As long as you come home 
Boy, you do, you will, you won't, or you don't 
As long as you come home 

Come tell me all of those sweet lies 
You used to whisper in my ear 
I don't wanna fight 
I just want you near 

Don't need my girls telling me 
How stupid I am 
Want everybody just to let me be 
I'm staying with my man 

Oh, I, I try but I can't shake you 
Oh, I, I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you. 

[Chorus] 

Come home, come home, come home, 
Come home, as long as you come home 
I love you 
I wish that you could give up those streets]
