The time was, baby

When you treated me right

You used to stay at home

Now you're stayin' out at night

Hey, when I leave here

You find what it means to be alone

Yeah, you'll cry for me

And pray one day that I'll come back home

Yeah, you's spoiled

Ever since you was a child

Yeah, your mother and father

Let you run wild

Hey, when I leave here

And you find what it means to be alone

Yeah, you will cry for me

And pray one day that I'll come back home

When you were down

You treated me like your special friend

Now you treat me like your little boy

And it's got to end

So you say, you's blessed

By the stars up above

You can take care of yourself now

You don't need my love

Hey, when I leave here

And you find what it means to be alone

Yeah, you'll cry for me

And pray one day that I come back home, yeah yeah

When you were down

You treated me like your special friend

Now you treat me like your little boy

Then it's got to end

So you say, you's blessed

By the stars up above

You can take care of yourself now

You don't need my love

Hey, when I leave here

And you find what it means to be alone

Yeah, you'll cry for me

And pray one day that I come back home

Yeah, cry for me

And pray one day that I come back home, oh yeah
