You been out there layin' low
In every dive from here to Memphis
Lookin' for something to fill the hole
In your poor little heart and keep out the coldWhy does love have to hurt so bad?
To drive a man downtown every night
I tell you something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be goneCome on back to the one who really loves you
Baby, come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby, come on back to me
Chasing shadows on the dark side of town
You can't hold what you can't catch
It's a bitter business this running around
When the penny drops it's a lonely soundWomen are fools when it comes to you
They gotcha doin' things you can't undo
Like a chain of heartaches around your neck
Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yetCome on back to the one who really loves you
Baby, come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby, come on back to meCome on back to the one who really loves you
Baby, come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby, come on back to me
Why does love have to hurt so bad?
To drive a man downtown every night
I tell you something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be goneCome on back to the one who really loves you
Baby, come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby, come on back to meCome on back to the one who really loves you
Baby, come on back to me
Come on back to the one who really cares
Baby, come on back to meCome on back to the one who really loves you
