[Verse 1]
I'm on my way back home, I know I done you wrong
Well I took a chance on losing my mind, did I stay too long
Darling I was young, I didn't mean no harm
Why, why you let me go when you know I love you so
Please let me come home
[Verse 2]
I didn't steal, see my baby
When I gave him a 3rd degree
He was beggin', cryin', and pleadin'
Please stay here with me, here way last year
When I saw that wrong, now I feel so bad cuz I did you wrong on my way back home
[Sax Solo]
[Verse 3]
I hope it ain't too late, daddy did you wait
Cuz I got my fare, I'll be soon there
I'm on my way back home
[Verse 1 reprise]
Darling I was young
I didn't mean no harm
Please let me come home
