When You Return - Jackie Greene

There's too much work today

And I don't want to

Do anything today

No I don't want to

But the barn out there needs maintenance

And I ain't got the patience

I think I'd rather sit and watch it burn

Wait right here baby till you return

All our friends come by

They annoy me

They try to get me high

But they destroy me

They think they do me service

But they just make me nervous

What goes on is nobody s concern

Ill tell you everything when you return

I can't stand it here

If you're not standing here

I can't keep it together

I can't be brave forever

You know not how a man like me can yearn

I'll keep you by my side when you return

I can't stand it here

If you're not standing here

I wish that I was tougher

But it serves me right to suffer

You know not how a man like me can yearn

I'll tell you everything when you return

There's too much work today

And I don't care to

Do all the things they say

Cause its not fair to

Turn this house into a home

It can't be done alone

Give me one more chance that I may earn

Earn back you baby when you return
