[Verse 1:]
I just stopped off for a quick one at the tavern
Just a drink, well, maybe I had two
But I swore as I sit down at her table

[Chorus:]
That darling, I was coming home to you

[Verse 2:]
Can't I help it, if she was going my way?
And we talked about old times we used to know
But I'm sure we had the green light at the corner
Anyone who saw the wreck will tell you so
I was only going to drop her off at her place

[Chorus:]
And then darling, I was coming home to you

[Verse 3:]
When you came, you saw her lying there beside me
But believe me, dear, that old romance is through
And even though you saw her arms around me
Darling, I was coming home to you

[Chorus:]
Oh yes, darling, I was coming home to you
