Charlene
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
Too hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times or more
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt
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
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
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
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that she's gone away
I pray that she'll come back one day
In my life
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
Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene, if you're listening would you call on me
'Cause my heart is aching
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
Too hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times or more
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt
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
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
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
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that she's gone away
I pray that she'll come back one day
In my life
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
Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene, if you're listening would you call on me
'Cause my heart is aching
