My girl is leaving town
Left me here six feet under the ground
They say she's homeward bound
She's the one I love but she just won't talk to me
When I'm in the crowd she's the only face I see
Bring back the one I love
That girl's the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
My time is running out
Leaves my head filled with nothing but doubts
I want to scream and shout
She's the one I need but she just won't talk to me
When I'm in the crowd she's the only face I see
Bring back the one I love
That girl's the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
That girl has come and gone
It didn't last too long
She never did belong to me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
My time is running out
Leaves my head filled with nothing but doubts
I want to scream and shout
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
She's the only one, she's the only one for me
Bring back the one I love
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
That girl, the one I've been dreaming of
Bring back the one I love
