Once upon a time A long, long time ago Wherever you'd lead me I would surely follow Girl, you put me through Some pain and misery And now you are Standing on my doorstep Telling me how much you need me Ain't nobody home Girl, ain't nobody home (nobody's home) How many times I begged For you to come home But you laughed at me And said let me alone Through my burning tears I saw you walk away And now you're Begging me to forgive you But this time, baby It's your turn to beg Ain't nobody home Girl, ain't nobody home Girl, I used to love you In ways no one else would love you Gave you everything that I own Girl, you can't come back here Ain't nobody home Once upon a time When you went on your way How, I hoped and prayed That you'd come back some day But time has made some changes Turned me upside down Now, you can beg me to forgive you But this time, baby You can turn right around Ain't nobody home Girl, ain't nobody home
