Verse I

Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote

She said she's tired that I'm always on the road

To hard to swallow being alone

She needs someone at night that she can hold



She must have told me a thousand times before

Silent cries I use to ignore

God knows I love her

Didn't mean to hurt her



Chorus

Baby I'll be

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

By your side

To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life

Come on home to me Charlene



Verse II

She knows I really love this old music thang

Since I was a child it's been my dream

I can support her treat her and spoil her

You know buy her the finer things



But I forgot about loving her

Damn the money, diamonds and pearls

What about the hard day she had with the baby

All she need is for me to love her



Chorus

Baby I'll be

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

By your side

To protect you and to love you and be with you for life

Come on home to me Charlene



Bridge

Promise I can't live without her

God knows I need her loving

And it hurts so bad that's she gone

I pray that she'll come back one day

In my life



Chorus

Baby I'll be

Sitting here waiting on you to come home again

I won't leave

Promise I'll be here to the very end

By your side

To protect you and to love you and be with you for life

Come on home to me Charlene



Oh oh oh

Sometimes I cry

Charlene if you'r
