She had a real good man, a steady job
But the two of them just weren't in her heart

Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
But she agreed to go along with my final word

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"
Go home baby, you better go home right now

Go home, little girl, you better go home
Go home, little girl, you better go home
Go home, little girl, you better go home
