My daddy told me always be strong son
Don't you ever cry
You find the pretty girls and then you love them
Then you say, goodbye

I never dreamed that you would leave me
But now you're gone
I never dreamed that I would miss you
Woman won't you come back home?

I never dreamed that you could hurt me
And leave me blue
I've had a thousand, maybe more
But never one like you

I never dreamed I could feel so empty
But now I'm down
I never dreamed that I would beg you
Woman I need you now

It seems to me, I took your love for granted
It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh Lord now I feel so lonely
I say, 'Woman won't you come back home?'

I tried to do what my daddy taught me
But I think he knew
Someday that I would find, one woman like you
I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord

That two could be one
I never knew about sweet love
So woman won't you come back home?
Oh baby won't you come back home?
