Baby's Coming Back

I knew that when I saw her That my life would soon move over from the fast lane Gone would be the days of all my drinking and my carrying on But when I settled down The party king uncrowned This stubborn memory hadn't faded Too many dumb mistakes and all the grief it makes Left nothing else to be debated But if you say that you understand then you're lyin' But if you figure that I'm alright now, I can't deny it Baby's coming back Baby's coming back So I'm on my best behaviour I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah, yeah) I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way If I had a dollar for every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun, (buy a handgun) But that couldn't shoot away The bull's eye that she made on my heart But if I sound like a beaten man, well then I guess so And on her way is the sweetest prize I can't let go Baby's coming back Baby's coming back I'm on my best behaviour I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah,yeah) And I've long run out my last chances but she's on her way What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown But when she said she'd give me one more chance I said to knock three times when you arrive Baby's coming back Baby's coming back I'm on my best behaviour I can't take it anymore I just woke up on the floor today, (yeah, yeah) Baby's coming back, my darlin Baby's coming back, to see me And I've long run out my last chances but she's on her way
