Once upon a time, a long long time ago,    wherever you would lead me, I would surely follow    Boy, you put me through some pain and misery    And now you are standing at my doorstep,   Telling me how much you need me       Ain't nobody home   Ain't nobody home       How many times I begged for you to come home,    But you laughed at me and said to let you alone    Through my falling tears I saw you walk away    And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,    But this time, baby, it's your turn to pay       Ain't nobody home    Ain't nobody home       Boy, I used to love you,    I placed no one else above you    Gave you everything that I owned    But baby you can't come back here    ‘cause there ain't nobody home       Ain't nobody home       Once upon a time, when you went on your way    How I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day    But time has made some changes, and turned me upside down    And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,    But this time, baby, you can turn right around       ‘Cause there ain't nobody home    Ain't nobody home    Ain't nobody home    Ain't nobody home
