Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause your little daddy's gonna be all alone
I have tried in vain never no more
To call your sweet loving name
And if you go you'd break my heart
I've never thought we could part
For every hour in the day
Baby, won't you please come home
I need you, I need you badly
Won't you hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Baby, won't you please come home
'Cause your little mama's gonna be all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more, never no more
Never no more, never no more
When you left you broke my heart
Never thought that we would ever part
For every hour in the day
You can hear my baby say
Oh baby wont you please come home
I need some some lovin'
Baby won't you please come on home
