Must be doin' something wrong baby I don't know
But the gold fish are floating at the top of the bowl
And the dog he won't eat he just lays around
All night long he makes a lonesome sound

I know I had it coming and it's all my fault
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

The way the plants are dyin' you'd swear it's fall
Looks just like autumn up and down the hall
And I talk to 'em baby like you s'posed to do
But they're tired of hearing how I'm missin' you

And I know you told me not to call
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

Well it's a desperate situation
I got a strong will to survive
But if this place is any indication
I may not make it out on time

Well it's an eerie feeling in the still of the night
Knowin' that the cats down to three more lives
You've turned as all into nervous wrecks
We just sit around and wanderin' who's goin' to be next

And I know I had it coming and it's all my fault
But baby come back
Before you kill us all

Baby come back
Before you kill us all

Baby come back
Baby come back
Before you kill us all

Baby come back
