I Didn

I Didn't Figure On Him (To Come Back)

Ral Donner

(D. Lapham, GONE 5114, 1961)

I thought I had you all wrapped up
I thought owned your heart
I didn't think there was a guy in this world
Who could ever break us apart
Oh, but I didn't figure on him to come back
I forgot he ever existed
I didn't figure on him to come back
I didn't know that you missed his kisses
(Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom)

When he walked out on you that time
I saw my chance to move in
For I've always wanted you to be mine
Even when you were going with him
Oh, but I didn't figure on him to come back
I forgot he ever existed
I didn't figure on him to come back
I didn't know that you missed his kisses
(Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom)

Now all my dreams have fallen apart
'Cause I heard he wants you back
Are you really going back to him for more
Are you really going to break my heart
Oh, 'cause I didn't figure on him to come back
I forgot he ever existed
I didn't figure on him to come back
I didn't know that you missed his kisses
Oh now, I didn't figure on him to come back
Now, don't you tell me he's a-coming back
Oh, are you really gonna take him back
'Cause I didn't figure on him to come back
Please, please, tell me he ain't coming back
[Fade]
