Woncha Come On Home

Joan Armatrading · Gold [2005]

Every light is on

But all the rooms are empty except one

Oh, baby don't stay too late

You know I hate to be alone and I'm alone

Baby, woncha come on home?



There's a madman standing on the corner

And he keeps on looking at my window

Oh babe, woncha come on home, home?



Every key is turned

And every window's bolted from inside

Oh babe, you know I get so scared

You know I couldn't live alone it's just been confirmed

Baby, woncha come on home?



Standing on the corner is a madman

Looking at my window

Oh babe, woncha come on home, home?

Baby, woncha come on home?



There's a man standing on the corner

Now a shadow moves across the window

Oh babe, woncha come on home, home?



Every light is on

But all the rooms are empty except one

Oh, baby don't stay too late

You know I hate to be alone and I'm alone

Baby, woncha come on home?

Baby, woncha come on home?
