all alone
all alone and waiting by the
telephone
hoping that you'll call again and
if you do
I know just exactly what I'll
say to you
if I can keep from begging
please
come home
please
please
come home
come home to me
when you left
I thought that I could make it through
another day
but I didn't understand the
words you say
but now I know I have to take it
anyway
and take it like a man
but please
come home
please
please
come home
come home to me
every night
every night my head and heart get
in a fight
keeping me awake until the
morning light
tell me what to do so I can
make it right
how I can get through to you
