Bassy" Bob Brockmann, Babyface, Jeffery Burrell)



My heart has been broken cause of you

One always must leave, that's nothing new

I thought that you'd really like to try to stay

Stay together, let's try again



It's been 17 months on my own

The nights are so quiet all alone

I long to feel you in my arms again

Girl, won't you please come back home



Spendin' my nights all alone

Really, really wish you'd come home

Savin' my heartbreak for you

Makes me blue, sadder than blue



Days walk past me like years

I struggle to swallow my tears

It's been a long time since I held you near

I still remember the scent of you dear



29 hours in my day

Feel like hell every day

Hopin' I get through to you

'Cause I sure miss you

Come back, come back to me



CHORUS



I never wanted to swallow my pride

I tried to play it cool, so cool

Girl, if we only could go back in time

I wouldn't hold back a damn thing from you



CHORUS
