My father told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone, gone gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman won't you come back home Back home I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue I've had a thousand, maybe more But never one like you I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down, down down I never dreamed that I would beg you Woman I need you now I need you now It seems to me that I took your love for granted Oh oh yeah It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong Oh Lord now I feel so lonely, yeah Woman won't you come back home I tried to do what my father taught me But I think he knew Someday that I would find one woman like you I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord That two could be one I never knew about sweet love, Lord Woman won't you come back home Back home
