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 by 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
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

but 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
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 this evening
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her
way
