Ella Fitzgerald
Hurry Home
I had to call you on the 'phone
Because I feel so all alone
Don’t like this being on my own
Can't you won't you hurry home
I’ll leave the door unlocked in case
Like me, you find you're out of place
I'd give the world to see your face
Can't you, won't you hurry home
I've learned a lot that I didn't know
I was a fool when I let you go
Since you've been gone it’s all very clear
Life is just an empty thing without you, dear
I made an awfully big mistake
Oh, what a difference love can make
Please give my heart another break
Can’t you, won't you hurry home
I set the clock to ring at eight
It didn’t work so I was late
I'm worried 'cause I'm losing weight
Can’t you, won't you hurry home
Our pet canary simply won't sing
There's something wrong, the doorbell won't ring
When you're away it's all very clear
Life is just a bowl of sour milk, my dear
I'm tired of eating food that's canned
And nothing's turned out like I planned
I know that you will understand
Can't you, won't you hurry home
