Yeah, oh yeah! Ooh, said I, I’m comin’ out to get you. Ooh, sit down. I’m comin’ out to find you. Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah. Findin’ my way!
I’ve been gone so long I’ve lost count of the years. Well, I sang some sad songs, oh yes, and cried some bad tears.
Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, whoa. Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, yeah.
I’m runnin’, finding my way back home. Oh yeah!
Yeah, oh yeah! Ooh, said I, I’m comin’ back to look for you. Ooh, sit down. I’m goin’ by the back door. Ooh, yeah. Ooh yeah. Findin’ my way!
You’ve done me no right, but you’ve done me some wrong. Left me lonely each night while I sing my sad song.
Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, whoa. Look out! I’m comin’. Whoa, yeah.
I’m runnin’, findin’ my way back home. I’m comin’. Ooh, babe, I said I’m runnin’. Whoa, babe, I said I’m comin’ to get you, mama. Said I’m runnin’.
Ooh, babe, I said I’m comin’ for you, babe. I said I’m runnin’. Ooh yes, babe, I said I’m comin’ to get you, babe. I said I’m comin’. Ooh, yeah.
