The time was, baby
When you treated me right
You used to stay at home
Now you're stayin' out at night

Hey, when I leave here
You find what it means to be alone
Yeah, you'll cry for me
And pray one day that I'll come back home

Yeah, you's spoiled
Ever since you was a child
Yeah, your mother and father
Let you run wild

Hey, when I leave here
And you find what it means to be alone
Yeah, you will cry for me
And pray one day that I'll come back home

When you were down
You treated me like your special friend
Now you treat me like your little boy
And it's got to end

So you say, you's blessed
By the stars up above
You can take care of yourself now
You don't need my love

Hey, when I leave here
And you find what it means to be alone
Yeah, you'll cry for me
And pray one day that I come back home, yeah yeah

When you were down
You treated me like your special friend
Now you treat me like your little boy
Then it's got to end

So you say, you's blessed
By the stars up above
You can take care of yourself now
You don't need my love

Hey, when I leave here
And you find what it means to be alone
Yeah, you'll cry for me
And pray one day that I come back home

Yeah, cry for me
And pray one day that I come back home, oh yeah
