You've been gone so long,
I'm about to lose my mind.
You've been gone so long,
I'm about to lose my mind.
Come back to me, baby,
Everything's gonna be real fine.

I can't sleep at night,
'Cause you're always in my dreams.
I can't sleep at night,
'Cause you're always in my dreams.
I know you can't believe me,
But it's strange as it seems.

Well, I turn, toss, all in my sleep,
Tell me, pretty baby, what you done to me.
I can't sleep at night,
'Cause you're always in my dreams.

You've been gone so long,
I'm about to lose my mind.
You've been gone so long,
I'm about to lose my mind.
Come back to me, baby,
Everything's gonna be real fine.

Come back to me, baby.
Come back to me, baby.
Come back to me, baby.
Hurry back to me, baby.
Come back to me, baby,
Everything's gonna be real fine.
