Well, she's a brown-eyed lady and I couldn't give her an answer
She took all I give her, and all she ever wanted is more
And I'd have to admit that I'm not just a born romancer
Ooh, takin' it easy, feel like I did before

Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?
Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?

I'm sittin' here thinkin' of nothin' but matches and candle
She took all I give her, all she ever wanted is more
And I'd have to admit she was too much for me to handle
Ooh, takin' it easy, I'm feelin' like I did before

Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?
Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?

She's a brown-eyed lady, and I couldn't give her an answer
She took all I give her, all she ever wanted is more
(Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh)

Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?
Mean, mean Jemima
Won't you come back, won't you come back home?
Come back home (Come back)
Won't you come back? (Won't you come back?)
Won't you come back home? (Won't you come back?)
Won't you come back? (Come back)
Won't you come back home? (Come back)
Won't you come on back? (Come back)
Won't you come back home? (Won't you come back?)
