Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you would lead me, I would surely follow Boy, you put me through some pain and misery And now you are standing at my doorstep, Telling me how much you need me Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home How many times I begged for you to come home, But you laughed at me and said to let you alone Through my falling tears I saw you walk away And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, But this time, baby, it's your turn to pay Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Boy, I used to love you, I placed no one else above you Gave you everything that I owned But baby you can't come back here 'cause there ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Once upon a time, when you went on your way How I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day But time has made some changes, and turned me upside down And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, But this time, baby, you can turn right around 'Cause there ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home Ain't nobody home
