But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

How did I let this go on

For so long

All my clothes are worn out

Gotta take care of myself

I got the wind in my hair

It's not like I care

How people look at me

Do you like what you see

I been washing my mouth

Out with soap now

I been watching my mouth

On the telephone now

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

Looking so disheveled

With the heat on the pedal

And your feet in the pebbles

And you look so good

Look so good

Feel so good

Everybody looking at you like they should

Baby you should move down

To the South now

I wanna live with you

Baby won't you come through

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

I grew out all my hair

And I painted my nails

Just to say that I could

Do you like what you see

I been washing my mouth

Out with soap now

I been watching my mouth

On the telephone now

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home

Looking so disheveled

With the heat on the pedal

And your feet in the pebbles

And you look so good

Look so good

Feel so good

Everybody looking at you like they should

Baby you should move down

To the South now

I wanna live with you

Baby won't you come through

But it's only because I wanna come home

But it's only because I wanna come home
