Honey Come Back
Roy Drusky · All American Country (Spectrum) [1986]
Well honey, I know I've said it too many times before
I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all
Since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go
Without tellin' you just how much I love you
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time.
Honey, come back I just can't stand
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
Then the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know
The joy of love that used to taste like
Honey, come back where you belong to only me.
Well, I guess that's about all I've got to say
So I'm gonna take my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights are callin' honey
Big fine cars and fancy talk
But if you ever want somebody to just love you
And some day you might
Just give me a call
You know where I am and here's what I'll say.
Honey, come back I just can't stand
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
Then the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know
The joy of love that used to taste like
Honey, come back where you belong to only me...
