Lord
Ooh-wee, baby, baby, yeah
What am I waiting for? Lord
He ain't coming back no more, no, baby
Lord, what am I waiting for?
He ain't coming back no more, no, baby
Sitting in this house alone
Reading the note that said you're leaving home
Well, now now, the only thing you left me was the dog and the cat
When I looked in the bedroom, I knew he wasn't coming back
What am I waiting for?
He ain't coming back no more, ooh-wee, baby
What am I waiting for?
He ain't coming back no more, no, no
I'm about to lose my mind
I've been waiting such a long, long time
When I stare in the mirror with the tears on my face
Will there ever be another to take my baby's place?
What am I waiting for?
He ain't coming back no more, no, no
What am I waiting for?
I don't believe he's coming back to me no more
Hey, hey, hey, I'm so lonely, baby
ย
I don't know what I'm gonna do without you, baby
You see, I gave you everything I had
ย
But somehow you still found it in your heart to treat me bad
Hey, hey, hey, hey, why you wanna leave me, baby?
Why in the world would you do this to me, daddy?
When you know how much I love you
ย
When you know how much I need you, baby
I don't believe you're gone
I keep on watching and hoping, hoping and praying
That any minute the man is gonna come
Back through the door for me, y'all
And I don't know what to do with myself
I get to walking around here in a daze, and I said
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
He ain't coming back no more, no
No, no, no, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't believe the man is coming back
To me no more, no more, oh, oh, oh
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't believe he's coming back to me no more, oh, oh
Woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't believe he's coming back to me no more, hey, oh
