The only child, don't turn your back, don't leave
You're on my mind, do you not see?
I need my job, please don't hold that against me
You are my life, ooh, don't that sting?

Oh, my child, you throw it back to me
You hold my time, you hold right back, indeed
I take my time so you can say to me
What makes it right is an unknown thing

You come home to me
You come home to me
You come home to me
You come home to me
You come home to me

Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
