[Verse 1] My daddy told me, "Always be strong, son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls, and then you love them Then you say goodbye" [Chorus] I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman, won't you come back home? [Verse 2] I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue I've had a thousand, maybe more Never one like you [Chorus] I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down I never dreamed that I would beg you Woman, I need you now [Verse 3] It seems to me I took your love for granted It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong Oh, Lord, how I feel so lonely I say, woman, won't you come back home? [Instrumental Break] [Outro] I tried to do what my daddy taught me, but I think he knew Someday that I would find one woman like you I never dreamed it could feel so good, Lord That two could be one I never knew about sweet love So, woman, won't you come back home? Oh, baby, won't you come back home?
