I stopped by at the party of an old friend

But then I saw this old sweetheart I once knew

And I vowed as I set me down beside her that darling I was coming home to you

Can I help it if she was going my way

And we talked about old times we used to know

And I'm sure we had that green light at the corner

Anyone who saw the wreck could tell you so

I was only gonna drop her off at her place

And then darling I was coming home to you

[ guitar ]

Then you came you saw her lying there beside me

Please believe me dear that romance is through

Even though I know you saw her arms around me darling I was coming home to you

Believe me darling I was coming home to you
