My daddy told me always be strong son
Don't you ever cry
You find the pretty girls, and then you love them
And 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
But woman I need you now

It seems to me, I took your love for granted
It feels to me, this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh Lord, how I feel so lonely
I said woman, won't you come back home

I tried to do what my daddy told me,
But I think he knew
Someday I would find
One woman like you
I never dreamed 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
