I was sitting here thinkin' 'bout my situation

Though I know you got reservations

I was thinkin' we could have it out

'Cause if we had it out

I knew that we could work things out

I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations

They like to know they got a man with dedication

To make a point they gotta put 'em out, but truly

Baby girl don't have to go out that route



So don't think I don't love you baby

So don't think I ain't been goin' crazy

Don't think for one minute

You ain't been on my mind

Don't think that I'm gone for good

Lord knows that I've been misunderstood

Won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why



I ain't never been down

I ain't never been out

And I ain't never hit rock bottom

Till the day you put me out

And I know I've done some wrong

But I ain't never hit rock bottom

So baby don't count me out



I was thinkin' in the mornin' it'd be over when I wake up

But then reality had hit me and I jumped up

I had to get myself a dial tone

I started callin' everybody tryin' to get back home

But everybody that I called was being difficult

I took it personal and took it as an insult

For all the time we had been goin' out

Girl I don't understand why you would have to go that route



Well I know that I love you baby

And I know that I'm goin' crazy

Don't think for one minute

You ain't been on my mind

Don't think I'm gone for good

Gods knows that I've been misunderstood

I won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why

It's been much too long

Since you've been gone away from me

And I need you home

Oh come back to me baby

'Cause I'm all alone

I'm all alone down on my bending knees

Oh baby, baby

Can I come back home please



HOOK
