[Verse One]
I've been holdin' out so long
I've been sleepin' all alone
Lord, I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
Want to kiss you
[Verse Two]
I've been walking Central Park
Singin' after dark;
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling my feet
Shuffling through the street;
People ask me
"What's the matter with you, boy?"
[Bridge]
Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Come home, Come home!
[Chorus]
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa ha-ha
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa ha-ha
[Verse Three]
I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starrin' in my dreams
Lord, I miss you
I've been waitin' in the hall
Been waitin' on your call
When the phone rings
[Verse Four]
“What’s the matter, man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats
Just dyin' to meet you
Gonna bring a casе of wine
Gonna mess and fool around
Just like wе used to
You know, like we used to.”
[Bridge]
Ooh baby, why you wait so long?
Come home, Come home!

Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa ha-ha
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
Haa haa haa haa haa-haa-haa
