Once upon a time, a long long time ago Wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow Girl, you put me through some pain and misery And now you are standing on my doorstep Telling me how much you need me Baby, ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home How many times I begged for you to come home But you laughed at me and said, "Let me alone" Through my falling tears, I saw you walk away And now you're beggin' me to forgive you But this time baby, it's your turn to beg Baby, ain't nobody home There ain't nobody home Girl, I used to love you In ways no one else would love you Gave you everything that I own Girl, you can't come back here Ain't nobody home Once upon a time, when you went on your way But, girl, I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day But time has made some changes, turned me upside down So, you can beg me to forgive you But this time baby, you can turn right around Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody Baby, there ain't nobody home You know you hurt me once There ain't nobody home Oh, you can beg me baby But still there ain't nobody home Ain't nobody baby Ain't nobody home I hear you knockin' But there ain't nobody home
