Baby Won't You Please Come Home

Brenda Lee · Reflections in Blue [Decca] [1967]

(Charles Warfield - Clarence Williams)



I got the blues and I'm lonely,

And I'd give the world if

If I could only make you understand

That I need you.



Oh Baby, won't you please come home

'Cause you mama's all alone

I have tried in vain

Never no more to call your name.



When you left you broke my heart

Because I never thought we'd part

Every hour in the day you can hear me say

Baby, won't you please come home, come home?



I'm gonna telegraph you, baby, and I'm gonna ask you

Won't you please come home

'Cause you know when you're gone I feel

So lonely and I need you.



Baby, baby, come on home

Oh, your little mama

Your little mama's all alone

Mm, I have tried in vain

I have tried and tried and tried not call your name.



Yes, you know when you left

When you left you broke my little heart

Oh, because, because I never thought

I never thought we'd part.



Every hour of the day

Oh, you're gonna hear me say

Oh baby, yeah, baby

You better listen to me, baby

Now baby, oh my baby, baby, baby

Won't you please come home?...
