The town I live in is lonely
It's so lonely till I have to cry
I told my mother, "I was through"
I told her just what I was going to do

Ah, if I live a-one more year
I'm packing my bags, getting away from here
The town I live in is so lonely till I have to cry
And I'm not ashamed to tell you that I cried

I want my baby,
If you see her
tell her to come on home
Tell her that I love her

I like to tell her that I love her,
And that I need her now,
Here by my side to be my guide
I want to know, have you seen my baby?

If you see her, tell her that I love her
Tell her that I was wrong
Tell her to come on home
Don't make me dream alone

[Fades]
I want my baby, I want to know. Whoa! Whoa!
I want to know, have you seen my baby?
If you see her, tell her that I love her
Tell her to come on home
