Now people you know I am 
I need all I can do 
(huh) - but I got a problem now 
And I'm gonna tell you about it 

I'm looking for this woman you see 
Listen, this is the way the story goes 

Looking out my window, looking at the rain 
Nothing left but sorrow, nothing left but pain 
Why you'd go and leave me 
Set me alone and blue 
Looking out my window, woman, trying to find you 

Why did you leave me 
Why did you grieve me 

Looking out my window, what do I see 
Nobody's crying, everything's bad in me 
I don't think that they feel so alone and blue 
Looking out my window baby, trying to find you 

Why did you leave me 
Why did you grieve me? 
Oh, uh, ah, oooo 

I'd like to tell you about this little girl that left me so alone and blue 
The trouble is, if I paint the picture too well, you might fall in love with her too 
She was about 5'6 and a little bag of tricks 
My mama told me to watch myself, but I didn't listen 
Because for you baby, I'd scratch out my eye 

Looking out my window down the railroad track 
Waiting for that little brown eyed girl, she's coming back 
I gotta hear that whistle blowing, down the line 
Come on back girl, to be mine all mine 

Why did you leave me 
Why did you grieve me 

wooooaaah, baby come on home, I'm so alone 
You know and I don't care what the world might say 
I'm gonna love you anyway 

Oh baby, I do all I need, I'm begging you please, oh 
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, 
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby 
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby 
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby 

I love you, I love you 
Come on home 
Come on home, baby 
Come on home, baby 
Come on home, baby, to me
