Go Home

Stevie Wonder

Her parents said, girl don¡¯t leave home

But her heart kept cheering her on

She had a real good man, steady job

But the two of them just weren¡¯t in her heart

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday I¡¯d need

But I kept saying girl you¡¯re wrong, go home

Long days, short nights when you¡¯re on the road

For a pretty girl it¡¯s a heavy load

And even so who¡¯ll pay your fare

She said I¡¯ll make it on a wing and a prayer

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday I¡¯d need

But I kept saying girl you¡¯re wrong, go home

She said I¡¯ve on right to tell her how life should be

Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me

But she agreed to go along with my final word

As fate would have life come around

My world started tumbling down

I lost my family, my friends and job

And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday I¡¯d need

But I kept saying girl you¡¯re wrong, go home

She said I¡¯ve on right to tell her how life should be

Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me

But she agreed to go along with my final word, my final word

As fate would have life come around

My world started tumbling down

I lost my family, my friends and job

And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday I¡¯d need

But I kept saying girl you¡¯re wrong, go home

She only wanted to be close to me

To give me the love she knew someday I¡¯d need

But I kept saying girl you¡¯re wrong, go home

Go home baby, you better go home right now

Go home, little girl you better go home

(repeat)
