Lyrics
When You Comin' Home
Mary Haller
Bright headlights comin' into view
My heart starts poundin', baby thinkin' that it might be you
But the lights go by, another night alone
When you comin' home, boy
When you comin' home
Standin' by the window, candle burnin' down
I know I should go to bed and just blow this candle out
But I can't leave, I just need to know
When you comin' home, boy
When you comin' home
There was a time when you came home early just to see me
And make a little lazy afternoon love
Now I, now I gotta beg you just to come near me
Honey, where you getting' it from
Tell me baby, are we done
Flame is dyin' out, a quarter after three
Gonna finally take the phone off the hook, chain the door, post a note tellin' you to just leave
Cuz I shouldn't have to ask, and I deserve to know
When you comin' home, boy
When you comin' home
There was a time when you came home early just to see me
Make a little lazy afternoon love
Now I gotta beg you just to come near me
Honey, where you getting' it from
Tell me baby, are we done
Flame is dyin' out, a quarter after three
Gonna finally take the phone off the hook, chain the door, post a note tellin' you to just leave
Cuz after givin' you my heart, I deserve to know
When you comin' home, boy
When you comin' home
Yeah, you can drive on past
I ain't gonna ask
When you comin' home to me, baby
When you comin' home
