Must be doin' something wrong baby I don't know But the gold fish are floating at the top of the bowl And the dog he won't eat he just lays around All night long he makes a lonesome sound I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all The way the plants are dyin' you'd swear it's fall Looks just like autumn up and down the hall And I talk to 'em baby like you s'posed to do But they're tired of hearing how I'm missin' you And I know you told me not to call But baby come back Before you kill us all Well it's a desperate situation I got a strong will to survive But if this place is any indication I may not make it out on time Well it's an eerie feeling in the still of the night Knowin' that the cats down to three more lives You've turned as all into nervous wrecks We just sit around and wanderin' who's goin' to be next And I know I had it coming and it's all my fault But baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back Baby come back Before you kill us all Baby come back
