If you need me, I wantcha to call me

Said if you need me, all ya gotta do is call me

Don't wait too lo-o-ong if things go wrong

I-I-I'll be home, whoa-oh-oh, home



If you want me, send for me

I said if you want me, want, all ya gotta do is send for me

Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone

And I-I-I'll (hurry home where I belong)



People always said, darlin', that I didn't mean you no good. And you

would need me someday. Way deep down in my heart I know I've done the best I

could. That's why I know that one of these days, it won't be long, you'll come

walkin' through that same door (I'll hurry home). And I can imagine in my mind

that these are the words that you'll be sayin'.



I still love you, always thinkin' of you

And I still love, love, always thinkin' of you

Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone

And I-I-I'll hurry home (I'll hurry home)

Right there, where I belong
