I'm missing my sweet something
I wanna talk with you, but this phone won't do
'Cause I need you here 100
Baby, come home, I got it bad for you
I'm no good alone at three in the afternoon
Baby, I need more than a word from you
Can't stop singing your song
It always plays when you're gone
I made you a coffee, I don't know why
Thought I heard the doorbell a couple times
Running on restless, how silly I
Somehow our room don't feel the same
Without your love, it's just a space
And every hour is overtime
Baby, come home, I got it bad for you
I'm no good alone at three in the afternoon
Baby, I need more than a word from you
Can't stop singing your song
It always plays when you're gone
Hey, how's your day been?
Boy, you save me on the daily, oh
You are some supernatural high
Can't say no
Oh, how the day goes
Oh, how the day goes, my love
Baby, come home, I got it bad for you
I'm no good alone at three in the afternoon
Baby, I need more than a word from you
Can't stop singing your song
