[Chorus 1]
Well, I'm drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea
Well, I'm drifting and drifting like a ship out on the sea

[Verse 1]
Ah, you know I am not got nobody in this world to care for me

[Chorus 2]
Ah, if my baby would only take me back again
Ah, if my baby would only take me back again

[Verse 2]
Well, you know I ain't good for nothing, darling, and I haven't got a friend

[Chorus 3]
Please come back, baby, baby, please come back home
Please come back home, baby, baby, please come back home

[Verse 3]
I want to show you just how much I love you, and how it feels to be alone
