Lyrics for Song: Baby Won't You Please Come Home
Lyrics for Album: 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?...


Baby Won't You Please Come Home

Released in 1967 on Brenda Lee's album Reflections in Blue, this recording captures the singer's matured vocal style as she transitions from her earlier teen idol persona to a more sophisticated adult artist. The track exemplifies the soft rock and pop ballad genre of the late 1960s, characterized by its gentle melody and introspective mood. Lee's delivery on this song showcases her technical control and emotional depth, distinguishing her from the pop acts of the mid-1960s. As part of her discography during this period, the recording reflects her continued evolution as a recording artist, moving away from the high-energy rock and roll of her youth toward a more polished and nuanced sound that would define her later career.
