. . . When will my lover come around, come around When will my lover come around . I got a feeling she mighta skipped town She mighta had enough of me Said I'm never gonna settle down Well I thought she'd be back by now But I've been sitting out here on the front steps All laughing and smoking cigarettes and wondering . When will my lover come around, come around When will my lover come around . Let the river run dry Let the mountains fall 'Cause I'ma be right here Till she comes back home . I got a feeling something ain't right I ain't heard a word from her and it's almost midnight Well I guess I'll have to put on that porch light So the first thing that she sees is me Sitting out here, waiting and wondering . When will my lover come around, come around When will my lover come around, yeah . When will my lover come around, come around When will my lover come around .
