I stay at home
You know I drink to pass the time away
But it only brings me back to yesterday
I put the coffee on
And I listen to the radio
But keep looking at the telephone

I've been thinking about you for a long, long time
I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
Oh, baby, come back

No matter what I do
I just can't forget the love we had
But I can't erase my mind and just forget about you, no
It's gone beyond all that
And I've got to have your love again
'Cause I got to make my heart stop breaking

I've been thinking about you for a long, long time
I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
Oh, baby, come back
You're all I think about
Baby come back

La, la, la, la, chu-la, la, la

The days and weeks fly by
And I watch my feelings slowly die
I can feel the hope inside me pass away
I lost my health, I lost my love
I lost my will to live
I'm a heart-broken fugitive

I've been thinking about you for a long, long time
I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
I been thinking about you baby
Not easy living without you baby

I've been thinking about you
And I keep hoping you'll come back
I keep hoping you'll come back

You never treated me right
All we ever did was fight
I thought I couldn't live without you baby
But something happened to me last night

You wanna know what it was?
Uh, huh, ok, I'll tell you

I planned to end it all
And I went back to my hotel room
And I locked the door closed with a broom
Opened up the drawer
And I reached inside to get my gun
But I found a bible from the gideons

And I've been thinking about it for a long, long time
And I've been thinking about it for a long, long time
And I've been thinking about it for a long, long time
(I wonder how it got there)

And I've been thinking about it for a long, long time
(I didn't put it there, I didn't even know it was there)
And I've been thinking about it for a long, long time
(Surprise, surprise)
Long, long time
