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
