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 and 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 behaviour, I can't take it anymore 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 hand gun, (hand gun) 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 then I guess so, And 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 behaviour, I can't take it anymore 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 is 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 to knock three times when you arrive
Baby's coming back Baby's coming back so I'm on my best behaviour I can't take it anymore 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
