My daddy told me always be strong son 
Don't you ever cry 
You find the pretty girls and then you love them 
Then you say goodbye 
I never dreamed that you would leave me 
But now you're gone 
I never dreamed that I would miss you 
Woman won't [bad word] back home

I never dreamed that you could hurt me 
And leave me blue 
I've had a thousand, maybe more 
But never one like you 
I never dreamed I could feel so empty 
But now I'm down 
I never dreamed that I would beg you 
Woman I need you now

It seems to me I took your love for granted 
It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong 
Oh Lord now I feel so lonely 
I say woman won't [bad word] back home

I tried to do what my daddy taught me 
But I think he knew 
Someday that I would find one woman like you 
I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord 
That two could be one 
I never knew about sweet love 
So woman won't [bad word] back home 
Oh baby won't [bad word] back home
