Ike - Y Don't U Come Home lyrics

rate me

EVERYBODY'S ASKIN' WHERE YOU ARE<br />

AND THE TRUTH IS I CANNOT LIE<br />

WHEN YOU DROVE OFF IN YOUR BEST FRIEND'S CAR<br />

I WAS SURE YOU'D BE BACK THAT NIGHT<br />

WELL I USED TO COUNT THE DAYS<br />

WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS A PHASE<br />

BUT I'M FREAKIN' OUT ALONE<br />

AND I WANT TO KNOW<br />

Y DON'T U COME HOME?<br />

EVERYBODY'S WONDERIN' WHERE YOU BEEN<br />

AND IT'S HARD JUST TO JUSTIFY<br />

YOU'RE HORIZONTAL AT THE DROP OF A HINT<br />

AND I GIVE UP ON ASKIN' WHY<br />

WHILE I'M MEDICATIN' HERE<br />

NURSING SOMEONE ELSE'S BEER<br />

I KEEP LISTENING FOR THE PHONE<br />

AND I WANT TO KNOW<br />

Y DON'T U COME HOME?<br />

YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING SINCE I SAID I LOVE YOU<br />

AFRAID TO ADMIT YOU'RE SCARED<br />

SO A STRANGER TAKES A TURN ABOVE YOU<br />

AND NOBODY HAS TO CARE<br />

BUT I KEEP ON TRYING<br />

WHY DON'T YOU COME<br />

I NEED ADVICE SO I GO TO SEE THE WISE MAN<br />

WANNA TALK IT OUT BUT YOU'RE GIVIN' ME THE HEISMAN<br />

KEPT AT ARM'S LENGTH, BUILDIN' MY STRENGTH<br />

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STAMINA AND NOT THE SIZE MAN<br />

COSMO, GLAMOUR, AND TISSUES<br />

READING UP ON YOUR UNRESOLVED BACK ISSUES<br />

COULD IT BE YOUR FATHER? COULD IT BE YOUR MOTHER?<br />

IT COULD BE ANY OF YOUR INSIGNIFICANT OTHERS<br />

SO WHATDOIGOTSTODO?<br />

YOU PLAY THE FLUTE TOO!<br />

AND WHEN I COME TO THINK OF IT I ONLY SEE YOU<br />

BUT ANY WAY YOU SLICE IT, IT'S A CATCH-22 <br />

AAAAA-ITE<br />

THERE'S A RINGING IN MY EAR <br />

MAYBE I DON'T WANNA HEAR<br />

THE TRUTH FROM YOUR TWILIGHT ZONE<br />

I JUST WANNA KNOW<br />

Y DON'T U COME HOME
