Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh

This is a wake, my head on my pillow
By the time you're awake, baby, you’ll be my widow
I taught you how to feel when you thought you never could
And I taught you how to love, nobody ever would

But tonight I gotta go, somebody's waitin' home
So after this long day through, ours will be dead to you

Goin’ back on the red eye, the red eye
Oh, goin' back on the red eye, the red eye
Ooh, I'm goin' back on the red eye, the red eye
Yeah, I'm goin' back on the red eye, the red eye

Girlfriend so runnin' through trouble
And I love her sayin' the way you move
Soak it good, now and me to know
In you, gotta love it too, darlin’ love it so

But tonight I’m going home, waitin' for a love
So after this long day through, ours will be dead to you

Goin’ back on the red eye, the red eye
Oh, girl, I'm goin' back on the red eye, the red eye
I'm goin’ back on the red eye, the red eye
Oh, girl, I'm goin' back on the red eye, the red eye

Where's your love gone?
Didn't know you were so in the love with her
Felt lost in the world, woah
Oh, yeah
The red eye, the red eye, mm
And I want you to know, my love
I've been patient
