I knew that when I saw
That my life would soon move over from the fast lane
Gone would be the days
Of all by drinkin' and my carrying onBut when I settled down, the party king uncrowned
This stubborn memory hadn't faded
Too many dumb mistakes and all the grief it makes
Left nothing else to be debatedAnd if you say that you understand then you're lyin'
But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny itBaby's coming back
Baby's coming back
So I'm on my best behaviorI can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her wayIf I had a dollar for every single time I fought her
I'd buy a handgun
But that couldn't shoot away
The bull's eye that she made on my heartAnd if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so
But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let goBaby's coming back
Baby's coming back
So I'm on my best behaviorI can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her wayWhat I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad
I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown
But when she said she'd give me one more chance
I said knock three times when you arriveBaby's coming back
Baby's coming back
So I'm on my best behaviorI can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeahBaby's coming back, my darling
Baby's coming back, the feeling
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
