My daddy told me, always be strong son, Don't you ever cry. You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye. I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone. I never dreamed that I would miss you. Woman, won't you come back home?
I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue. I've had a thousand, maybe more But never one like you. I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down. I never dreamed that I would beg you. Woman, I need you now!
It seems to me I took your love for granted, It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong. Oh, lord, now I feel so lonely. I say, woman, won't you come back home?
I tried to do what my daddy taught me But I think he knew. Someday that I would find one woman like you. I never dreamed that it could feel so good, lord That two could be one. I never knew about sweet love So, woman, won't you come back home? Oh, baby, won't you come back home?
