[Verse 1]
I got a message from my baby
I wonder, wonder what it's about, oh
Yes, I got a message from my woman
I'm gonna, gonna read it out loud, Lord
It says, "I'm goin' to the station
Gonna take a train back to my mama's house
Yes, I'm going to the station
'Cause I need some true lovin' arms around me now"
[Refrain]
So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
So long, so long
[Verse 2]
If only this woman had some fault
To cast a hiding shadow upon my own weakness
If only my baby had some flaw
It would take some of this weight off of my heart
I wonder what my baby saw or what she heard
For nothing occurs unobserved
No, no, this won't stand
But spite feels better than hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
[Refrain]
Hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt
Oh, you hurt me so bad, babe
Oh, you got me hurting like crazy
[Verse 3]
I got a message for my baby
Said do you wanna know what it's about? Oh
Yes, I got a message for my woman
I'm gonna, gonna rеad it out loud, Lord
I know I hurt you once, maybe evеn twice
Not counting the times I made it up to you real nice
Will you forgive me, baby? You know I can't be alone
I'll send for a spaceship, pick you up and fly you
[Refrain]
Home, home
Home, home
Oh, tell me, tell me you're forever mine
Tell me would you have me anytime? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
