Lyrics: Baby's Coming Back

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 my 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 behaviour
I can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today
Yeah
Yeah
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
(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 then I guess so
And on her way is the sweetest prize
I can't let go

Baby's coming back
Baby's coming back so I'm on my best behaviour
I can't take it anymore
I just woke up on the floor today
Yeah
Yeah
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 to knock three times when you arrive

Baby's coming back
Baby's coming back so I'm on my best behaviour
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 to see me
And I've long run out my last chances but she's on her way
