Missing Person Songtext
von Gary Brooker

I′ve been waiting
For you to come home now
It's such a long time
I′m so all alone now
'Cause when the night comes
It hits me so hard
Thinking about you
And where you've gone to

Why don′t you come home?
Why don′t you come home?
Why don't you come home now?

Mmm, you got me wondering
What would I do now?
If you don′t come back, babe
Can I get through now?
The way I see it
Sooner or later
You're gonna miss me, girl
Yeah, you′ll come running back


Oh, why don't you come home?
Why don′t you come home?
Why don't you come home, babe?

Every time I hear the telephone
I run and pick it up
Hoping it's you to say you′re coming back
Every time I see the setting sun
Can′t help counting the days you've been gone

The way I see it
Sooner or later
Mmm, you′re gonna miss me
Then you'll come running home
′Cause when the night comes
Ooh, it hits me so hard
It gets me hurtin' (Hurtin′)
It gets me hurtin' (Hurtin')
It hits me so hard


Oh, why don′t you come home?
(Why don′t you come home?)
Why don't you come home now?
(Why don′t you come home?)
Why don't you come back?
(Why don′t you come home?)
Why don't you come home, girl?
(Why don′t you come home?)

I'm just sitting here waiting for ya
Sitting by the telephone
Every time the phone rings, girl
Ooh, I think you're coming back
Why don′t you come home, girl?
(Why don′t you come home?)
Why don't you come home, babe?

(Why don′t you come home?)
Get your sweet self back home, girl
(Why don't you come home?)
Yeah, when are you coming back to see me, baby?
(Why don′t you come home?)
Get on back, get on back, babe
Why don't you come home?

Why don′t you come home, girl?
