COMIN' HOME ALONE
(Dave Loggins)


Tanya Tucker - 1976



 

Dinner and cards at my best friend's house 
Is lately what I call my big night out
And the man at the corner news stand 
Says I'm his best customer

My evenin's are planned for me by the TV Guide
But it keeps me from takin' up some young mans time 
And him takin' up mine
Oh, that's meant for you, babe

So, darlin', finish your scoop, I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to 
And it's made me so strong
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well, I’ll never mind comin' home alone

You know this ol' place could use a new face
Sometimes I feel like a woman goin' to waste
Though I know it's only a matter of days 
And lonely night times

For as sure as the leaves return to the trees
And my window fills with a summer breeze
You'll surely be here with me
Oh, and I want you babe

So, darlin', finish your scoop, I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to 
And it's made me so strong
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well I’ll never mind comin' home alone

No, darlin', finish your scoop and I'll wait for you
You gave me somethin' to hold on to 
And it's made me so strong, baby
'Cause as long as I can come home in love
Well I’ll never mind, ah, comin' home alone
