| I knew that when I saw | |
| That my life would soon move over from the fast lane | |
| Gone would be the days | |
| Of all by drinkin' 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 | |
| And if you say that you understand then you're lyin' | |
| 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 behavior | |
| 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 | |
| But that couldn't shoot away | |
| The bull's eye that she made on my heart | |
| And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so | |
| But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go | |
| Baby's coming back | |
| Baby's coming back | |
| So I'm on my best behavior | |
| 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 knock three times when you arrive | |
| Baby's coming back | |
| Baby's coming back | |
| So I'm on my best behavior | |
| 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, the feeling | |
| I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way |
