Baby Come Back/baby's Coming Back Lyrics - Live At Bogart's 1991 - Jellyfish

I knew that when I saw her 

That my life would soon move over from the fast lane 

Gone would be the days of all my drinkin' and my carryin' on 

But when I settled down 

The party king uncrowned 

This stubborn memory hadn't faded 

Too many dumb mistakes 

And all the grief it makes 

Left nothin' else to be debated 

And if you say that you understand then you're lyin' 

But if you figure that I'm alright now I can't deny it 

Baby's comin' back 

Baby's comin' back 

So I'm on my best behavior 

I can't take it anymore 

I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah 

I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way 

If I had a dollar 

For every single time I fought her 

I'd buy a handgun 

(I'd buy a handgun!) 

But that couldn't shoot away 

The bullseye that she made on my heart 

And if I sound like a beaten man well I guess so 

But on her way is the sweetest prize and I can't let go 

Baby's comin' back 

Baby's comin' back 

So I'm on my best behavior 

I can't take it anymore 

I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah 

I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way 

What I told her on the telephone was that I'd been so bad 

I wouldn't blame her if she mowed down these wild oats I'd sown 

But when she said she'd give me one more chance 

I said knock three times when you arrive 

Baby's comin' back 

Baby's comin' back 

So I'm on my best behavior 

I can't take it anymore 

I just woke up on the floor today, yeah yeah 

Baby's comin' back, my darlin, 

Baby's comin' back, this evenin' 

I've long run out of my last chances but she's on her way
