I had you on the telephone
Said you won't be coming home
Heard you had to leave the state
Said you won't be back someday
Well, now I can't wait
No, I think you should stay
I heard you went to Tennessee
Thought that you'd come back to me
Thought you'd said you'd never leave
Baby, please come home to me
Well, now I can't wait
No, I think you should stay
But I could say a million things
And every one would mean something
But I can't wait
No, I can't wait
Ooooooo oooooo oooooooo (x3)
Now I could say a million things
And every one would mean something
But I can't wait
Baby, I can't wait
I can't"¦
Called you on the telephone
Said you might be comin' home
Know that you had to leave the state
But you're coming back some day
Oooooo ooooo oooooo (x5)
