Come on back, oh yeah (Come on back)

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't walk away from me, baby
Like that
Oh, 'cause she came into the room
Don't you turn your back
'Cause you're gonna tell her today
And I mean what I say
Send her away

Stay right here, baby
I just can't let you go, no, no, no, ooh
Stay right here with me, baby, yeah
Oh, so I can love you
Love you a little bit more

Just because she came into the room
Now, don't you turn your back
'Cause you're gonna tell her today
And I mean what I say
Send her away

I just can't let you go, no, no, no, ooh
Stay right here with me, baby, yeah
Oh (So I can love you
Love you a little bit more)

Yeah, oh
So I can love you, uh huh, yeah
