Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...   I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long   (Babe...) I want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)     So I made up my mind, I gonna crawl right back to you woman   I'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah, 'Till you're here by my side   I can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down   'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good times   Keep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine     Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)   (You've been gone too long)
