I got a letter from my baby
Mailman brought it today
She said she's so sorry
How that she ran away
She said, "Daddy, don't worry"
"Because it won't be long"
Hey, "Before I be back at home"
Oh yeah
I got to clean my house
I got to do it right away
'Cause my of baby
She's coming back to stay
She's coming back to me
To end my misery
Hey, I bet it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
No, no, it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
Hey, you know I love that girl
Like a schoolboy, love his toys
And the memories, the memories of her
Fills my heart with the torture
You know, baby
I gotta have you right away
So please, so please hurry
Oh, hurry back and stay
Will I have a whistle blown?
Baby, baby, I've been alone
Hey, I bet it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
No, no, it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
Hurry back, oh baby
Hurry back and stay
'Cause I need your loving
I got to have it right away
Now will I have a whistle blown?
Oh baby, I've been alone
Hey, I bet it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
No, no, it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
I said it wonna be long (no, it won't be long)
No, no, it wonna be long
