Please, please baby, baby come back home
'Cause it's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

I laughed when you packed your bags and told me goodbye
I hollered, I don't need you, ah but honey, that's a lie

Please, please baby, baby come back home
'Cause it's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

If you don't come dear, I know I'll go insane
Sweetheart, I plead guilty, darlin I'll take all the blame

Please, please baby, baby come back home
'Cause it's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

Please, please baby, baby come back home
'Cause it's so cold and dark here all alone
If you come back I promise I'll be good
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should

If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
If you come home, baby, I'll act like I should
