Was I awake, or was it just a dream?
I opened up my eyes, and you weren't with me
And now you've said that you're leaving but you'll be home soon
It's never easy bein' away from you

One thought, boy, I'm all choked up
There's something about you, I could never ever get enough
It's the way that you move
It's the smile on your face
Breaks my heart in two everytime you go away

I always said I'd never cry over you
But it's hard to hold back tears when your fears come true
I'm sittin' here lonely just a-missin' you
Baby, come home

Refrain:
Everytime you go away, my heart goes with you
Everytime you go away, my heart's torn in two
Is there something I can say?
Won't you change the plan to make?
'Cuz my heart can't stand the pain
Everytime, everytime you go away

Last night, I was sittin' up in my room
I knew I should be sleeping, but instead I was thinking about you
I can still hear your voice callin' out my name
I just closed my eyes, and you're lying here next to me

I always said I'd never cry over you
But it's hard to hold back tears when your fears come true
I'm sittin' here lonely just a-missin' you
Baby, come home

Refrain x 2

Why do you want to make cry?
Why do I feel such pain inside?
I need to know

I always said I'd never cry over you
But it's hard to hold back tears when your fears come true
I'm sitting here lonely, and I'm missin' you!
Come home!

Refrain x 2

Come home, baby
Missin' you when you go away
Everytime you go away, I can't stand the pain
I can't stand it
I know, I know
All them days will be perfect
Someone stand the pain!

Refrain x 2
