If you see me walking down the street
Staring at the sky
And dragging my two feet
You just pass me by
It still makes me cry
But football's coming home again

And if you see me sitting in the stands
Laughing and joking
Doing what I can
I won't put you down
'Cause I want you around
Football's coming home again

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

Time is laying heavy on my heart
Seems I've got too much of it
Since we've been apart
My friends make me smile
If only for a while
Football's coming home again
(One, two, three, four)

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again

For now I'll have to wait
But this is our time
It is our fate
'Cause I just can't go on
It's already been too long
Football's coming home again
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again
(One, two, three, four) whoa, whoa

Looking back on when we first met
I cannot escape and I cannot forget
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again
Southgate, you're the one, you still turn me on
Football's coming home again
