The Spinners - I'm Coming Home lyrics

Sitting in a railway station
With my suitcase in my hand
Going back where I came from
I've had more than I can stand
Of watching men destroy my dreams
They picked my brain 'til it was clean
When I was up, they knocked me down
Hey, I ain't gonna hang around

I'm going home-home-home, hey yes I am
(Coming home) Won't you understand
Why don't 'cha tell someone to meet me
I'm coming home
Tell someone to meet me, why don't 'cha
Came to this old town seeking
Fortune and some fame
I never got the chance to prove myself
Though I tried to play their game
Using people just ain't my thing
And I won't dangle from any string
To please, some fool that don't care about
They turned me inside out

I'm going home
That's a fact, you know (Going home)
I know what I'm gonna do
I'll tell someone to meet me
Going home, yes I am will ya meet me?
(Tell someone to meet me) When
You're down and out, hey hey

I gotta admit it
I'm not really ashamed of half
The things I said
And I don't want nobody trying
To show me pity
'Cause, I've had more than I can stand
And better woman, I'll be a better man
I'll ty to rearrange my life
Might even find me a pretty wife
Hey, hey hey

(I'm going home) Won't 'cha wait for me
Starts to get me moving
(Going home) Oh, Lord have mercy
Try to be, try to be a good man
(I'm gonna tell someone to meet me)
Gonna try to get me something together
I'm going home, yes I am hey, hey hey
(Going home) Why don't 'cha, why don't 'cha
Why don't 'cha tell someone to meet me
Well, why don't 'cha
(Tell someone to meet me) Oh, hey
It was gonna get steady
But I came to the city
Living in a cold life place for the nothing
Hey!

(I'm going home) You know I
Gotta get back out
(Going home) Ain't used to living like that
(I'm gonna tell someone to meet me)
(I'm going home) See it's been a long time
(Going home) Since I felt like a real man
(Tell someone to meet me) Heh, heh
(I'm going home) Coming to the city
(Going home) Hey, you have the wrong thing
(Tell someone to meet me)
(I'm going home) Have my things on my back
(Going home) I'm going back where I came from
(Tell someone to meet me)
Yeah, 'cause don't nobody really
Care about you (I'm going home
Going home) Ain't having no fun
