Baby, Come on Home

Baby, Come on Home - Solomon Burke

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

(Baby come on home)

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

(Baby come on home)

I'm afraid you're coming home

One long lonely night

She never wore

Bright colored dresses

Didn't like perfume

Diamond 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

(Baby I'm coming home)

I need you baby

Please come home
