When You Return

When You Return - Jackie Greene
There's too much work today
And I don't want to
Do anything today
No I don't want to
But the barn out there needs maintenance
And I ain't got the patience
I think I'd rather sit and watch it burn
Wait right here baby till you return
All our friends come by
They annoy me
They try to get me high
But they destroy me
They think they do me service
But they just make me nervous
What goes on is nobody?s concern
Ill tell you everything when you return
I can't stand it here
If you're not standing here
I can't keep it together
I can't be brave forever
You know not how a man like me can yearn
I'll keep you by my side when you return
I can't stand it here
If you're not standing here
I wish that I was tougher
But it serves me right to suffer
You know not how a man like me can yearn
I'll tell you everything when you return
There's too much work today
And I don't care to
Do all the things they say
Cause its not fair to
Turn this house into a home
It can't be done alone
Give me one more chance that I may earn
Earn back you baby when you return
