You’re Coming Home Lyrics[Verse 1]
Laughin' on the outside
While my heart is floatin' in an ocean of tears, yeah
You know, some old friends of ours stopped by the pad the other day
We sat down and talked and had a few beers
They sent their regards to your mother, baby
I told them you were staying with her while she was ill
I also told them that you'd be home as soon as she got better
Huh, ah, sugar, I know you will
My pounding heart is floatin' out with the tide
Oh, I don't know how much longer I can hold this hurt inside
[Chorus]
I'm sittin' here by my telephone
I know you're gonna call and say that you're comin' home
Ain't you, baby?
Oh, sittin' here by the telephone
I know you're gonna call and say that you're comin' home, yeah
[Verse 2]
The note you left me, it's gotta be wrong
It's dated six months ago, Lord
And what's this about how long you've been waitin'?
Just waitin' for a chance to pack up and go
There's got to be some mistake or somethin' I don't understand
How could you walk out and just mess up all my plans?
But I know it's sad but it's true
It wasn't you that needed me, it was me that needed you, yeah
[Chorus]
Sittin' here by the telephone
I know you're gonna call and say that you're comin' home
Ain't you, baby?
Yeah, sittin' here by my telephone
I know you're gonna call and say that you're comin' home, mhm
Sittin' here by my telephone
I know you're gonna call and say that you're comin' home
Ain't you, baby?
[Outro]
I'm gonna sit here waitin' for the phone to ring
