Mavis Staples - Come HomeLyrics

How did it come to this? You livin' in your world and me dyin' in mine Lord knows I don't deserve this I never gave you any reason to treat me unkind Each day that goes by I grow lonelier Sadder than the day before I'd give anything just to hold you in my arms Or see you standin' at my door 'cause darlin', you mean more than words could explain Ooh darlin', the pain, it cuts so deep And it's only a matter of time Before I go right out of my mind I don't care who was wrong I only know that when you're gone I think about you every day Why'd you have to go away and leave me all alone? Won't you please come home, baby? (Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) Come home (Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) Why did we ever part? You were my lover and I was your friend How did this argument start? Couldn't we just kiss and start over again? Whoever said all good things soon come to an end Never had anybody like you There's a pounding in the pit of my heart Whenever I think of what we used to do (Ooh, the things we use to do) 'cause darlin', you mean more than words could explain Darlin', darlin', the pain cut so deep And it's only a matter of time 'Fore I go right out of my mind I don't care who was wrong I only know that when you're gone I think about you every day Why'd you have to go away, leave me all alone? Won't you please come home, baby? (Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) I can't take it no more Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby Looky here I got somethin' I want to say You know I never treated you bad You know I was the best you ever had I know it's just a matter of time 'Fore I go right out of my mind Ow! Baby, help me Oh baby It's just a matter of time before I go right out of mind I don't care who was wrong, baby All I know, all I know is that when you're gone I say when you're gone I think about it every day any old kind of way Why'd you leave me, why'd you leave me? Why'd you go away? Baby, baby, won't you come home? (Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) Come on, come on home Help me ? come on, come on home (Baby, won't you please come home? I don't want to be alone) Somebody help me Come on, come on home
