Won't You Come On Back

Fats Domino · Other Songs - Fats Domino

You said you was going away, I said I didn't mind

And I'm sitting in here today with all the things you left behind

Now I'm sitting on the front step where the flowers seem to cry

And if you don't come back today I'm sure that they will die



I know that I would die



So won't you come on back, baby please come back

Baby come on home, I'm all alone

I want to sing to you, make love to you - come on!



Everything reminds me of you, yes everywhere I turn

I looked on the table, I saw a long cigarette burn

I'm listenin' to that song, the song you used to sing

There's a hole in the wall where your picture used to hang



Yes where your picture used to hang



So won't you come on back, baby please come back

Baby come on home, I'm all alone

I want to sing to you, make love to you - come on!



You told me that you love me, you know lying doesn't pay

You said you'll be with me until Judgment Day

Until Judgment Day



So won't you come on back, baby please come back

Baby come on home, I'm all alone



I'm all alone

I'm all alone

Oh won't you come on back

Oh won't you come on back

Baby please come back

Baby come on home

I'm all alone

I'm all alone
