Come Back Baby - Steely Dan

I don’t like waiting for a knock on the door

I don’t like wondering why

I got no mercy for a man and his tears

He’s just living a lie

I got a feeling like I’m losing my cool

That’s no way to be

You got me crying, got me playing the fool

That’s what you’re doing to me

Ohhh, you gotta come back baby

I don’t want to say how long it’s been

Five days and I gotta know now

Come back baby

I don’t want to live alone again

My old man never told me how

I don’t like lying all alone in my bed

Nobody calling my name

I can’t say thank you for a kick in the head

But I need you just the same

See me settin' by the side of the road

People starin' and smilin'

They got no mercy for a man and his tears

Can’t you hear me cryin'?

Ohhh, you gotta come back baby

I don’t want to say how long it’s been

Five days and I gotta know now

Come back baby

I don’t want to live alone again

My old man never told me how

You gotta come back baby

I don’t want to say how long it’s been

Five days and I gotta know now

Come back baby

I don’t want to live alone again

My old man never told me how
