If my baby don't come home to me
You, my baby, stop my crying
Without her my life is nothing
In this one tear
I remember late one evening
Oh yes, she did
My sweet baby said goodbye to me
That one tear just wouldn't fall
In this one tear I'm gonna drown
I, I, I've been slowly dying
Want to free me
So this one tear will let me go
I didn't know till she went away
You, my baby, stop my crying
Want to feel me
Every night I, I say a prayer
I just rolled up in a great big ball
But this one tear won't set me free
I, I, I've been slowly dying
I cried so hard when she left me
Want to feel me
Ooh yes, she did
So this one tear
Even though she let me down
All my life drained from my body
'Cause that one tear
How I tried to forget her
I've got to get my baby back
Just how much that woman meant to me
And I whisper something, Lord
