If You Don't Come Back

A noise woke me up this morning
I looked through the Venetian blind
You were gone, and the car was gone
And I almost lost my mind

If you don't come back
If you don't come back today
Well, you can call up the people in the crazy house
To take this crazy man away

I threw myself against the wall now
I ripped up my clothes and I sobbed
I ran into the street, in my stocking feet
Yelling 'Police! I've been robbed'

If you don't come back
If you don't come back today, babe
Well, you can call up the people in the crazy house
And take this crazy man away


Mrs A is talkin' about me
To the people way across the street
She says 'I cooked that boy a bucket of soup
But the poor thing doesn't eat'

If you don't come back
If you don't come back today, babe
Well, you can call up the people in the crazy house
To take this crazy man away

The doctor come up to see me
To check me with a fine-tooth comb
He said 'You ain't sick, but you're gonna die
If you don't get your baby back home'

If you don't come back
If you don't come back today, babe
Well, you can call up the people in the crazy house
And take this crazy man away

If you don't come back
If you don't come back today, babe
Well, you can call up the people in the crazy house
And take this crazy man away
