She got out of town
On a rail-way New York bound
Took all ex-cept my name
An-oth-er al-i-en on Broad-way
Well some things in this world
You just can't change
Some-things you can't see
Un-til it gets too late
CHORUS
And Ba-by, ba-by, ba-by
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up a-gainst out in this world
And May-be, may-be, may-be
You'll find some-thing
That's e-nough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't re-ceive you
You should turn your-self a-round
And come on home
VERSE 2
I got a hole in me now
Hey, I got a scar I can talk a-bout
She keeps a pic-ture of me
In her a-part-ment in the cit-y
But some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Un-til they leave you
Then the things that you miss
CHORUS
Let that cit-y take you in, come on home
Let that cit-y spit you out, come on home
Let that cit-y take you down, yeah
For God's sake turn a-round
CHORUS
Ba-by, ba-by, ba-by
Come on home
Yeah, come on home Yeah, come on home
