I was sitting here thinkin' 'bout my situation
  Though I know you got reservations
  I was thinkin' we could have it out
  'Cause if we had it out
  I knew that we could work things out
  I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations
  They like to know they got a man with dedication
  To make a point they gotta put 'em out, but truly
  Baby girl don't have to go out that route
    So don't think I don't love you baby
  So don't think I ain't been goin' crazy
  Don't think for one minute
  You ain't been on my mind
  Don't think that I'm gone for good
  Lord knows that I've been misunderstood
  Won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why
    I ain't never been down
  I ain't never been out
  And I ain't never hit rock bottom
  Till the day you put me out
  And I know I've done some wrong
  But I ain't never hit rock bottom
  So baby don't count me out
    I was thinkin' in the mornin' it'd be over when I wake up
  But then reality had hit me and I jumped up
  I had to get myself a dial tone
  I started callin' everybody tryin' to get back home
  But everybody that I called was being difficult
  I took it personal and took it as an insult
  For all the time we had been goin' out
  Girl I don't understand why you would have to go that route
    Well I know that I love you baby
  And I know that I'm goin' crazy
  Don't think for one minute
  You ain't been on my mind
  Don't think I'm gone for good
  Gods knows that I've been misunderstood
  I won't give you up and baby I'll tell you why
    [HOOK]
    It's been much too long
  Since you've been gone away from me
  And I need you home
  Oh come back to me baby
  'Cause I'm all alone
  I'm all alone down on my bending knees
  Oh baby, baby
  Can I come back home please
    [HOOK]
