Well, all night long I walk the floor
Thinking of you and watching the door
Can't stay away from that doggone telephone
I want to call you up and apologise
For telling you all of them little white lies
Baby, maybe then you'd come back home

Well, I know I let the deal go down
That's why I'm feeling blue
Your high stepping daddy quit slipping around
And I'll be true to you
So if you come back home baby, I'll be good
I'll do everything like I said I would
Baby, honey baby, please come home

Well, I hear that midnight whistle blowing
And I ain't got no way of knowing
If you're being nice and true to me
Well, if you come back home, I won't be mean
A true loving daddy, like you've never seen
Baby, honey baby, please come home

Well, I know I let the deal go down
That's why I'm feeling blue
Your high stepping daddy quit slipping around
And I'll be true to you
So if you come back home baby, I'll be good
I'll do everything like I said I would
Baby, honey baby, please come home
