I was sitting here thinkin' 'bout my situation Though I know you got reservations I was thinkin' we could have it out 'Cause if we had it out I knew that we could work things out I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations They like to know they got a man with dedication To make a point they gotta put 'em out, but truly Baby girl don't have to go out that route
So don't think I don't love you baby So don't think I ain't been goin' crazy Don't think for one minute You ain't been on my mind Don't think that I'm gone for good Lord knows that I've been misunderstood Won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why
I ain't never been down I ain't never been out And I ain't never hit rock bottom Till the day you put me out And I know I've done some wrong But I ain't never hit rock bottom So baby don't count me out
I was thinkin' in the mornin' it'd be over when I wake up But then reality had hit me and I jumped up I had to get myself a dial tone I started callin' everybody tryin' to get back home But everybody that I called was being difficult I took it personal and took it as an insult For all the time we had been goin' out Girl I don't understand why you would have to go that route
Well I know that I love you baby And I know that I'm goin' crazy Don't think for one minute You ain't been on my mind Don't think I'm gone for good Gods knows that I've been misunderstood I won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why
[HOOK]
It's been much too long Since you've been gone away from me And I need you home Oh come back to me baby 'Cause I'm all alone I'm all alone down on my bending knees Oh baby, baby Can I come back home please
