Oh baby, you don't know how I
I miss you so
Come on back home
An I won't be mean no more

Because I love you
Yes, I love you for myself
Yes, an I'm just hopin', baby
That you haven't fell in love
Wit' nobody else

You don't know how much I miss you, baby
A-since a-you been gone
Please stop yo' foolin' babe
An' bring yo' clothes back home

Because I need you
Yes, an I love you for myself, now
Yes, an' I'm just hopin' baby
That you haven't fell in love with nobody else

(harmonica, guitar & instrumental)

You told me last night, baby
A-then a you was through
An you didn't want me baby
To keep on worryin' you

But I still love you
Yes, an I love you for myself
Yes, an I'm just hopin', baby
That you haven't fell in love wit' nobody else

Now, an I'm goin' overseas, baby
An I won't be back
I'm goin' where the womens naturally
They solid, Jack

'Cause I'm gonna leave you
Because you don't mean me no good
I don't need no tellin'
I found it out in yo' neighborhood.
