Go, it's been seven years down the road
I got no more tears in me left to flow
When I did my baby wrong
And she left me lonely for so long
Now I'm out here all alone
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
It go one more treble, two for the bass
Used to mess with this girl way back in the day
She's from the PJ's and she went both ways
Yeah, the girl was a freak, I used to call her Monique
And before I even speak about knockin' the boots
I say her name been changed to avoid lawsuits
So now we gettin' down to the nitty of the gritty
She brought her friend around and damn she was pretty
Betty was twisted, she said her number was listed
They grabbed my love too fisted, hugged it and kissed it
They say, one in the hand is worth two in the bush
But when shove came to push, yo, I had my own theories
World series of love, it's two on one
Till I got caught with smokin' gun
His wife came home and she bursted in
Now I'm lookin' for my heart like I'm made from tin
The road that I travel ain't got yellow bricks
My old woman jinxed that all men are pricks
And she flipped the script, she's puttin' lip to lip
And every time I think about it I just lose my grip
'Cause I've been up and I've been down
And I've been fast and I've been slow
And I've been square and I've been round
And I've been high and I've been low
And I've been cool and I've been calm
And I've been kind and I've been crass
I held the whole world right in my palm
I tried to spread it around but it sure went fast
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Bring my baby home
Seven years sure, gone flown by
I got no more tears any left to cry
Oh, when I did my sugar bad, I lost the best thing I ever had
And now I'm out here on my own
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Lord, won't you please bring my baby home?
Bring my baby home
