He's been sitting by the phone since she left   But it's time for work and he just can't be late   So he grabs his old guitar   And he plays a couple bars on the machine   And then he softly sings      It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you   It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home   And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do   And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home      Well the message light was blinking when he got back   It was an old friend calling cause he just heard the news   He says Man I hope you find her   If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried   And want her to know      It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you   It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home   And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do   And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home      Well the days dragged by without a word from her   And it looked like she might not be coming back   People said man don't you think it's time to take that old message off   He said no, you never know when she might call      She was just outside a bar in New York City   Her so-called friends had left her all alone   She was scared he wouldn't want her   But she dialed up that old number and let it ring   And then she heard him sing      It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you   It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home   And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do   And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home      He walked in just in time to hear her say   Dad, I'm on my way
