I knew that when I saw her   That my life would soon move over from the fast lane   Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carryin' on   But 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 nothin' else to be debated      And if you say that you understand then you're lyin'   But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny it      Baby's comin' back   Baby's comin' back   So I'm on my best behavior   I 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 way      If I had a dollar   For every single time I fought her   I'd buy a handgun   (I'd buy a handgun!)   But that couldn't shoot away   The bullseye that she made on my heart      And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so   But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go      Baby's comin' back   Baby's comin' back   So I'm on my best behavior   I 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 way      What 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 arrive      Baby's comin' back   Baby's comin' back   So I'm on my best behavior   I can't take it anymore   I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah      Baby's comin' back, my darlin,    Baby's comin' back, this evenin'   I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
