Dear darlin' surprised to hear from me?
                Bet you're sittin' drinkin' coffee, yawnin' sleepily
                Just to let you know
                I'm gonna be home soon
                I'm kinda awkward and afraid
                Time has changed your point of view

                How you gonna see me now
                Please don't see me ugly babe
                'Cause I know I let you down
                In oh so many ways
                How you gonna see me now
                Since we've been on our own
                Are you gonna love the man
                When the man gets home

                Listen darlin' now I'm heading for the west
                Straightened out my head but my old heart is still a mess
                Yes I'm worried honey
                Guess that's natural though
                It's like I'm waiting for a welcome sign
                Like a hobo in the snow

                How you gonna see me now
                Please don't see me ugly babe
                'Cause I know I let you down
                In oh so many ways
                How you gonna see me now
                Since we've been on our own
                Are you gonna love the man
                When the man gets home

                And just like the first time
                We're just strangers again
                I might have grown out of style
                In the place I've been
                And just like the first time
                I'll be shakin' inside
                When I walk in the door
                There'll be no place to hide

                How you gonna see me now
                Please don't see me ugly babe
                'Cause I know I let you down
                In oh so many ways
                How you gonna see me now
                Since we've been on our own
                Are you gonna love the man
                When the man gets home
