It was take 54,

When she walked through the door

With the red light on it

I knew in a minute

If I wanted to get in it

Then I'd have to get on it--

I sang my balls off for you baby

I worked my fingers to the bone

I closed my eyes to get the high note

but when I woke up I was alone--

Baby, baby come back

I need you to make a good track--

Baby, baby come back

Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today

Back in studio A

We were just gettin' started--

I sang for a minute,

She couldn't get in it,

I felt broken hearted--

I sang my balls off for you baby

I almost broke the microphone

I even sang the song that you wrote

But when I woke up I was alone--

Oh! Baby, baby, come back--

I need you to make a good track

Baby, baby come back

Baby, baby come back

High note--

But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back

I need you to make a good track

Baby, baby come back

B-b-b-baby come back
