[Intro]
Yeah, ooh, mmm...

[Verse 1]
Well, I guess I'm sorry now
I thought I could live without you
Then one day, you were gone
And I discovered this house just ain't a home
Now, I surely hope that it's not too late
But I didn't know the pain would be so great

[Chorus]
(I can't stand the pain) come on home, mhm
I can't stand the pain, ooh
I can't stand the pain, ooh
I can't stand the pain, ooh

[Verse 2]
I'm a full-grown natural man
But there is one thing I don't understand
How could I get in a fix like this?
I toss and I turn my nights away
I never thought the pain would be this way
I can't take the pain, little girl

[Chorus]
(I can't stand the pain) ooh, mm...
(I can't stand the pain, ooh) I can't stand it, no
(I can't stand the pain) ah, ooh
(I can't stand the pain, ooh) mhm...
[Bridge]
Girl, won't you show some mercy
Please, baby, please
Bad Bobby can't take this pain much longer
Please, baby, please
I can't take the pain, come home

[Outro]
(I can't stand the pain) woo, oh girl
(I can't stand the pain, ooh) I can't stand the pain
(I can't stand the pain) I can't stand the pain
(I can't stand the pain, ooh) I can't stand the pain
(I can't stand the pain)
(I can't stand the pain) I can't take this pain much longer
(I can't stand the pain) I want you home, baby
(I can't stand the pain) ooh, hm-hm-hm...
(I can't stand the pain) not much longer
(I can't stand the pain) I want you home
(I can't stand the pain) I can't stand the pain, I can't stand the pain
(I can't stand the pain) I can't, I can't, I can't stand it, no girl
(I can't stand the pain...)
