Oh baby, won't you please come home?
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left, you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day you will hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home?
When you left, you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day you will hear me say
Oh baby, my baby
Baby, won't you please come home?
'Cause your mama needs some lovin'
Baby, won't you please come on home?
