[Intro] Mm-hmm You brought your sorry shoes back to my door Baby, I’ve seen that walk before [Verse 1] You came around at half past ten With rain on your coat and that grin again Said you’d been thinking, said you’d been wrong Said every lonely road led you home Well, I poured your coffee, I let you speak Watched that silver tongue turn sweet But there ain’t a prayer in your Sunday best That can talk its way back into my bed [Pre-Chorus] You had your chance You had my key You had the better part of me But I’ve swept the porch And I changed the lock So don’t act shocked [Chorus] I can’t take you back Go on home Take your little suitcase of “baby, I’ve grown” I’ve heard that song I know that tune You always cry when the bill comes due I can’t take you back Go on home Don’t stand there shining like a heart of gold You had my love You let it roam I can’t take you back Go on home [Verse 2] You said her name like it burned your mouth Like that might put the fire out But I don’t need the details, babe I read the headline on your face You want forgiveness wrapped in lace A little kiss and a hiding place But I am not your chapel bell And I am not your wishing well [Pre-Chorus] You had my nights You had my pride You had me waiting by your side But the woman here Ain’t the woman then I don’t bend like that again [Chorus] I can’t take you back Go on home Take your little suitcase of “baby, I’ve grown” I’ve heard that song I know that tune You always cry when the bill comes due I can’t take you back Go on home Don’t stand there shining like a heart of gold You had my love You let it roam I can’t take you back Go on home [Bridge] Now don’t you look so wounded Like I’m doing something cruel You taught me how to lose you Now I’m showing you the rules A woman can be tender Till she’s tired of being used And baby, I look better When I’m not loving you [Breakdown] Go on, go on There’s the road Go on, go on You know where it goes Don’t leave your hat Don’t leave your lies Don’t leave one tear for me to dry [Final Chorus] I can’t take you back Go on home Take your little suitcase of “baby, I’ve grown” I’ve heard that song I know that tune You always cry when the bill comes due I can’t take you back Go on home Don’t stand there shining like a heart of gold You had my love You let it roam I can’t take you back Go on home [Outro] I can’t take you back No, baby, no Go on home I changed the lock I swept the floor Ain’t your woman anymore I can’t take you back Go on home Go on home Go on home
