Baby's Coming Back

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 debatedBut if you say that you understand then you're lying
But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny itBaby'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
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her wayIf I had a dollar for every single time I fought her I'd buy a handgun
But that couldn't shoot away the bullseye that she made on my heart
But if I sound like a beaten man, well then, I guess so
But on her way is the sweetest prize, I can't let goBaby'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
I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her wayWhat 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've 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
Said 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 to see me
And I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
