Baby's Coming Back

LETRA

Baby's Coming Back

I knew that when I saw her,
That my life would soon move over from the fast lane,
Gone would be the days of all my drinking and my carrying on.

But when I settled down,
The party king uncrowned,
This stubborn memory hadn't faded,
Too many dumb mistakes and all the grief it makes,
Left nothing else to be debated.

But if you say that you understand then you're lyin',
But if you figure that I'm alright now, I can't deny it,

Baby's coming back,
Baby's coming back,
So I'm on my best behaviour,
I can't take it anymore,
I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah, yeah)
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way.

If I had a dollar for every single time I fought her,
I'd buy a handgun, (buy a handgun)
But that couldn't shoot away,
The bull's eye that she made on my heart.

But if I sound like a beaten man, well then I guess so,
And on her way is the sweetest prize I can't let go.

Baby's coming back,
Baby's coming back,
I'm on my best behaviour,
I can't take it anymore,
I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah,yeah)
And I've long run out my last chances but she's on her way.

What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad,
I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown,
But when she said she'd give me one more chance,
I said to knock three times when you arrive.

Baby's coming back,
Baby's coming back,
I'm on my best behaviour,
I can't take it anymore,
I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah, yeah)
Baby's coming back, my darlin,
Baby's coming back, to see me,
And I've long run out my last chances but she's on her way
