Her parents said, girl dont leave home

But her heart kept cheering her on

She had a real good man, steady job

But the two of them just werent in her heart



She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday Id need

But I kept saying girl youre wrong, go home



Long days, short nights when youre on the road

For a pretty girl its a heavy load

And even so wholl pay your fare

She said Ill make it on a wing and a prayer



She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday Id need

But I kept saying girl youre wrong, go home



She said Ive on right to tell her how life should be

Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me

But she agreed to go along with my final word



As fate would have life come around

My world started tumbling down

I lost my family, my friends and job

And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start



She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday Id need

But I kept saying girl youre wrong, go home



She said Ive on right to tell her how life should be

Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me

But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word



As fate would have life come around

My world started tumbling down

I lost my family, my friends and job

And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start



She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday Id need

But I kept saying girl youre wrong, go home

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday Id need

But I kept saying girl youre wrong, go home

Go home baby, you better go home right now

Go home, little girl you better go home



(repeat)
