Dusty Springfield · Classics & Collectibles [2009]
Now, don't tell me that you're sorry
Darling, I'm as much to blame as anyone
It's over and done
Baby, I'm so glad to have you home
Welcome home, my baby
Welcome home, my baby
And this time we'll make it
We'll give a love as well as take it
We'll let pride be something we have in our love
Not just in ourselves
Baby, it's so good to have you home
Welcome home, my baby
Welcome home, my baby
Into my arms, into my heart
Into my life, into my life
Forever
'Cause we acted just like children
Baby, forgive me, I said I'm sorry
I know I acted like a fool
Baby, baby, baby please don't take it out on me
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Welcome Home
