Her parents said, girl don't leave home  But her heart kept cheering her on  She had a real good man, steady job  But the two of them just weren't in her heart    She only wanted to be close to me  To give me the love she knew someday I'd need  But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home    Long days, short nights when you're on the road  For a pretty girl it's a heavy load  And even so who'll pay your fare  She said I'll make it on a wing and a prayer    She only wanted to be close to me  To give me the love she knew someday I'd need  But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home    She said I've on right to tell her how life should be  Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me  But she agreed to go along with my final word    As fate would have life come around  My world started tumbling down  I lost my family, my friends and job  And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start    She only wanted to be close to me  To give me the love she knew someday I'd need  But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home    She said I've on right to tell her how life should be  Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me  But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word    As fate would have life come around  My world started tumbling down  I lost my family, my friends and job  And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start    She only wanted to be close to me  To give me the love she knew someday I'd need  But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home  She only wanted to be close to me  To give me the love she knew someday I'd need  But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home  Go home baby, you better go home right now  Go home, little girl you better go home
