Come Home Mavis Staples

How did it come to this?
You livin’ in your world and me dyin’ in my mine
Lord knows I don’t deserve this
I never gave you any reason to treat me unkind

Each day that goes by, I grow lonelier
Sadder than the day before
I’d give anything just to hold you in my arms
Or see you standin’ at my door

Cuz darlin’, you mean more than words could explain
Ooh darlin’, the pain, it cuts so deep
And it’s only a matter of time
Before I go right out of my mind
I don’t care who was wrong
I only know that when you’re gone
I think about you every day
Why’d you have to go away and leave me all alone?
Won’t you please come home, baby?
(Baby, won’t you please come home? I don’t wanna be alone)
Come home
(Baby, won’t you please come home? I don’t wanna be alone)

Why did we ever part?
You were my lover and I was your friend
How did this argument start?
Couldn’t we just kiss and start over again?
