I knew that when I saw her That my life would soon move over from the fast lane Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carrying on But when I settled down The party king uncrowned This stubborn memory hadn't faded Too many dumb mistakes And all the grief it makes Left nothing else to be debated
And if you say that you understand then you're lyin' But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny it
Baby's comin' back Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
If I had a dollar For every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun (I'd buy a handgun) But that couldn't shoot away The bullseye that she made on my heart
And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go
Baby's comin' back Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today (yeah, yeah) I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown But when she said she'd give me one more chance I said knock three times when you arrive
Baby's comin' back So I'm on my best behavior I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today (yeah, yeah) Baby's comin' back, my darlin' Baby's comin' back this evenin' I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
