Lyrics
Her parents said, "Girl, don't leave home"
But her heart kept cheering her on
She had a real good man, a steady job
But the two of them just weren't in her heart
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong, go home"
Long days, short nights when you're on the road
For a pretty girl, it's a heavy load
And even so, who'll pay your fare?
She said, "I'll make it on a wing and a prayer"
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong, go home"
She said I had no right to tell her how life should be
Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
But she agreed to go along with my final word
As fate would have life come around
My world started tumbling down
I lost my family, my friends and job
And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong, go home"
She said I had no right to tell her how life should be
Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word
As fate would have life come around
My world started tumbling down
I lost my family, my friends and job
And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong, go home"
She only wanted to be close to me
To give me the love she knew someday I'd need
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong, go home"
Go home baby, you better go home right now
(Go home, little girl, you better go home)
Go home, girl
(Go home, little girl, you better go home) ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Go home, little girl, you better go home)
Go home, baby
(Go home, little girl, you better go home) go home
Go, go home, baby
(Go home, little girl, you better go home)
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong"
But I kept saying, "Girl, you're wrong"
Back to
(Go home, little girl, you better go home) uh, uh
(Go home, little girl, you better go home) yeah, you better go home, uh
(Go home, little girl, you better go home) go home, little girl, you better go home
