Baby's Coming Back Lyrics

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 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 bullseye that she made on my heart But if I sound like a beaten man, well then, I guess so But 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 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've 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 Said 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 to see me And I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
