[Intro — bass groove, horns stab] Do you think about me now and then? (Yeah) Do you think about me now and then? (Oh yeah) 'Cause I'm comin' home again (You know I am) [Verse 1] I've been gone a little while But baby don't you worry I could see it on your face You missed me in a hurry Bet you cleared some closet space And kept my favourite mug Told your friends you're over me Then practiced your "what's up?" [Pre-Chorus] Oh I know, I know, I know You tried to let it go But every time that song came on You turned up the radio [Chorus] Do you think about me now and then? (Yeah) Do you think about me now and then? (Oh you do) 'Cause I'm comin' home again Maybe we could start again (Yeah) Maybe we could start again And maybe this time honey We do it right (We do it right) [Verse 2] Now I ain't here to beg or plead That ain't really my style I'm just standin' at your door With my signature smile I brought flowers — yeah I know A little late, a little bold But you look good and I look good And baby we ain't old [Pre-Chorus] Oh I know, I know, I know You got a speech prepared But somewhere 'round the second line You stopped and stood and stared [Chorus] Do you think about me now and then? (Yeah) Do you think about me now and then? (Oh you do) 'Cause I'm comin' home again Maybe we could start again (Yeah) Maybe we could start again And maybe this time honey We do it right (We do it right) [Bridge — breakdown, sparse groove] Look — I ain't perfect Never said I was But nobody makes you laugh The way I always does And you can play it cool Lord knows you always try But that smile at the corner of your mouth Baby — don't lie [Instrumental break — horn solo, 8 bars] [Final Chorus — full band, call and response] Do you think about me now and then? (Every now and then — yeah!) Do you think about me now and then? (More than she'll ever say!) 'Cause I'm comin' home again (Welcome home, welcome home) Maybe we could start again (Start it up again!) Maybe we could start again And maybe this time honey We do it right We do it right We do it RIGHT [Outro — groove fades, ad libs] (You missed me, don't deny it) (Mm-hmm, thought so) (Comin' home...) (We gon' be alright)
