[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
But now he's home
Ooh-ooh, baby

[Verse 1]
You've made it clear to me
Things just couldn't get serious
You were so dear to me
I was blind and delirious

[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
And I knew it would be him
Rather than me instead

[Chorus]
But ooh, baby, while he was gone (Ooh-ooh, baby)
How we danced and dine (Danced and dine)
Wined and dine (Wined and dine)
Danced and dine but now he's home
(You and me together)

[Verse 2]
For once in my life
I've enjoyed the world around me
When he came back in to your life
It destroyed my world around me
[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
And I knew it would be him
Rather than me instead

[Chorus]
But ooh, baby, while that man was gone (Ooh-ooh, baby)
How it was you and me (You and me)
Me and you (Me and you)
Me and you but now he's home (Danced together, laughed together)
Baby, your man is home (Laughed together)

[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
But now he's home
Ooh-ooh, baby, baby

[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
But now he's home
Hey my, baby (Ooh-ooh, baby)

[Verse 3]
I don't wanna be
A part time lover no, no
Baby, I don't wanna be
Your part time pleaser no, no, no
Now that your man is come home
[Refrain]
I knew he'd come back just like you said
But now he's home
Must I live without you, my baby, my baby? (Ooh-ooh, baby)
I knew he'd come back just like you said
He's home (But now he's home)

[Outro]
And I'm gonna be so lonely, so lonely (Ooh-ooh, baby)
My lonely nights, my lonely days
I'm gonna spend them wannin' you
Wannin' to hold ya
Baby, can't you see
This game, this game [?]
This is no good for me
Baby, yeah, yeah, I knew it
My mind told me that I was gonna be
I was gonna be lonely, yeah
I knew it all the time
