Carlene Carter - Come on Back lyrics

rate me

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 cold

Why does love have to hurt so bad

To drive a man downtown every night

I tell ya something ain't right

Something's real wrong

In the morning when I wake up

You'll still be gone

(chorus)

Come 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

Out 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 sound

Women 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 yet

(repeat chorus twice)

Why does love have to hurt so bad

To drive a man downtown every night

I tell ya something ain't right

Something's real wrong

In the morning when I wake up

You'll still be gone

(repeat chorus twice)
