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 by 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 lying

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 behavior

I can't take it anymore

I just woke up on the floor today

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

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 I guess so

but on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let

go

Baby's coming back

baby's coming back

so I'm on my best behavior

I can't take it anymore

I just woke up on the floor today

I've long run out of 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 knock three times when you arrive

Baby's coming back

baby's coming back

so I'm on my best behavior

I can't take it anymore

I just woke up on the floor today

yeah yeah

Baby's coming back my darling

Baby's coming back this evening

I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her

way
