And I'll be a free man once again, oh yes I will now
I'm so glad I served my time
I'm gonna meet the girl that I left behind
And when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Oh, when I see her, I'm gonna give her
There were times, there were times
When each day seemed like a year, oh yes it did now
But the sweet things she said in her letters
Made the time just disappear, oh yeah
She said, "No other arms will I let hold me
'Cause in your arms is where I wanna be"
When I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the lovin' I've got
Ooh, said when I see her, I'm gonna her
All the love I got
Baby, oh baby, my little darling
I'm coming home
Oh, countless nights I stared out my window
At the moonlight, yes I did now
Listen people
Thinking about the way I used to hold her tight, mmm-hmm
I must have been out of my mind to do the wrong I did
And leave her behind
So when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Woo, when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
When I see you, when I see you, when I see you, when I see you
Gonna give her all my lovin', yeah
