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
