If you ever, change your mind,
About leaving, leaving me behind.
O-oh, bring it to me,
Bring your sweet lo-vin’,
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
I know I laughed, when you left,
Now I know, I only hurt myself.
O-oh, bring it to me,
Bring your sweet lovin’,
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
I'll give you jewelry, and money, too,
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you.
O-oh, bring it to me,
Bring your sweet lovin’,
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
