["Bassy" Bob Brockmann, Babyface, Jeffery Burrell]

My heart has been broken cause of you
One always must leave, that's nothing new
I thought that you'd really like to try to stay
Stay together, let's try again

It's been 17 months on my own
The nights are so quiet all alone
I long to feel you in my arms again
Girl, won't you please come back home

Spendin' my nights all alone
Really, really wish you'd come home
Savin' my heartbreak for you
Makes me blue, sadder than blue

Days walk past me like years
I struggle to swallow my tears
It's been a long time since I held you near
I still remember the scent of you dear

29 hours in my day
Feel like hell every day
Hopin' I get through to you
'Cause I sure miss you
Come back, come back to me

[CHORUS]

I never wanted to swallow my pride
I tried to play it cool, so cool
Girl, if we only could go back in time
I wouldn't hold back a damn thing from you

[CHORUS]
