Coming Home - lyrics


Sun is in the sky
Shining everywhere
But I don't see the light
And no one seems to care
That's why I'm packing up again
Gotta leave this empty life
Got a ticket in my hand
So look for me tonight
Baby, I'm coming home, coming home, coming home
(Baby, won't you leave on the porchlight)
So happy I'm coming home, coming home
Where I belong
Baby, I ain't too proud to get on my knees
To tell you how I miss you
To tell you how I miss my baby
You can say hello (You can say hello)
And make me feel alive (Make me feel alive)
Ooh, Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows)
Happy tears will fill my eyes
Oh, you can turn away
And make me wanna cry
Tell me it's too late
But I got to know I tried
That's why I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Ooh baby, I'm coming home
(Baby, won't you leave on the porchlight)
So happy I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Where I belong (With you, baby)
(I belong with you, baby)
(Back to you)
Baby, life ain't been so good to me
Gonna tell you what it's like girl (Life without you)
I want you, need you
So baby, I'm coming home, coming home
Back where I belong
So baby, won't you leave on the porchlight
(Coming home) Look out your window
(Coming home) Coming 'round the corner
(Coming home) Out to your doorstep
Ooh baby, I'm coming home, coming home
Back where I belong
(Coming home, coming home, coming home)
(Coming home, coming home, coming home)
