Solomon Burke - Baby, Come On Home lyrics

When your baby packs up and leaves you
You see her train disappear out of sight
What would you give if you had the power
To hold back that long, lonely night

And I keep praying wherever you might be
Come on home to me i need you

I used to take her lips for granted
All of her kisses tasted the same
But now, she's gone, gone
And, oh, what I would give just to see her
Just to hear her call my name
She can say it so sweet

Come on home i'm afraid you're coming home
One long, lonely night

She never wore bright colored dresses
Didn't like perfume diamonds and lace
But I wanted parties and a big time woman
Now all I want god knows all I need
Is to see her face
And hear her call my name again and say

Oh, if you only knew
It's still around here for now
I need you, baby please come home
