When You Gonna Come Back Home
Jeff Lorber · Step By Step [2010]
I'm finding this so hard to keep you outta my mind.
Oh it's a wonder, I can think at all.
I'm out the street, everything is you.
What's all this madness, that you're putting me through?
Now I see black, there's just no way out,
There's no way out.
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me?
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me? To me, to me
Day and night when my dreams were free.
I imagined a place just for you and me.
But then the morning comes, and it took you away.
I'm going crazy cause I just don't know
Which way your hearts gonna go,
Girl I don't want to be the victim anymore.
But I'm still waiting by the door.
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me? To me.
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me? To me, to me, to me.
I don't wanna keep pressing you for famous,
Us to me to so.
No I have never been the begging guy,
I just get let go.
My dreams are broadened,
I can't get you off my mind.
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me? To me.
When you gonna come back home?
When you gonna see us been too long?
When you gonna come back home to me? To me.
Come back home to me.
