[Original]
Well a noise woke me up this morning
I looked through the venetian blind
The car was gone and you were gone
And I almost lost my mind
If you don't come back
(If you don't come back)
Well, if you don't come back today baby
(If you don't come back)
Well, you can call up the people at the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
I threw myself up against the wall now
I tore my clothes and I sobbed
I ran out on the street in my stockinged feet
Yellin' "Police, I been robbed!"
If you don't come back
(If you don't come back)
Oh, if you don't come back today baby
(If you don't come back)
Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
Mrs. Brown been talking about me
To the people way across the street
She said, "I cooked that boy a bucket of stew
But the poor thing just won't eat."
If you don't come back
(If you don't come back)
Oh, if you don't come back today baby
(If you don't come back)
Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
Well the doctor came up to see me
Check me with a fine tooth comb
He said, "You ain't sick, but you're gonna die
If you don't get your baby back home."
If you don't come back
(If you don't come back)
Oh, if you don't come back today baby
(If you don't come back)
Yeah, you can call up the people at the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
If you don't come back
(If you don't come back)
Oh, if you don't come back today baby
(If you don't come back)
If you don't come back to me mama
(If you don't come back)
