Her parents said, girl donĄŻt leave home
  But her heart kept cheering her on
  She had a real good man, steady job
  But the two of them just werenĄŻt in her heart
    She only wanted to be close to me
  To give me the love she knew someday IĄŻd need
  But I kept saying girl youĄŻre wrong, go home
    Long days, short nights when youĄŻre on the road
  For a pretty girl itĄŻs a heavy load
  And even so whoĄŻll pay your fare
  She said IĄŻll make it on a wing and a prayer
    She only wanted to be close to me
  To give me the love she knew someday IĄŻd need
  But I kept saying girl youĄŻre wrong, go home
    She said IĄŻve on right to tell her how life should be
  Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
  But she agreed to go along with my final word
    As fate would have life come around
  My world started tumbling down
  I lost my family, my friends and job
  And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
    She only wanted to be close to me
  To give me the love she knew someday IĄŻd need
  But I kept saying girl youĄŻre wrong, go home
    She said IĄŻve on right to tell her how life should be
  Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me
  But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word
    As fate would have life come around
  My world started tumbling down
  I lost my family, my friends and job
  And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
    She only wanted to be close to me
  To give me the love she knew someday IĄŻd need
  But I kept saying girl youĄŻre wrong, go home
  She only wanted to be close to me
  To give me the love she knew someday IĄŻd need
  But I kept saying girl youĄŻre wrong, go home
  Go home baby, you better go home right now
  Go home, little girl you better go home
