I was waiting all alone last night

When they cancelled all remaining flights

And I was suddenly aware, I was being so unfair

To turn and run from you again



So I called you on the telephone

And I said hey girl I'm coming home

Cause I know my words were cruel

And that I acted like a fool

But I'm gonna make it all up to you



And I don't care what people say

Cause I'm gonna love you night & day

Oh baby if you still want me

Still need me, all you gotta do is let me

Walk right up to your door



I'm makin' my way back to Chicago

I'm makin' my way come rain or shine

I'm gonna find true love waiting for me

I'm gonna make it all work out for good this time



Let's go walking by the beach tonight

And watch the sun come up on Lake Shore Drive

Then I'll take you in my arms

And I'll keep you from all harm

Cause I know everything is gonna be alright



And I don't care what people say

Cause I'm gonna love you night & day

Oh baby if you still want me

Still need me, all you gotta do is let me

Just walk right up to your door



I'm makin' my way back to Chicago

I'm makin' my way come rain or shine

I'm gonna find true love waiting for me

I'm gonna make it all work out for good this time



I'm makin' my way back to Chicago

I'm makin' my way come rain or shine

I'm gonna find true love waiting for me

I'm gonna make it all work out for good

Know it's understood

I'm coming home to stay this time
