Once upon a time
A long long time ago
Wherever you'd lead me
I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through
Some pain and misery
And now you are standing on my doorstep
Telling me how much you need me
Baby, ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
How many times I begged
For you to come home
But you laughed at me
And said let me alone
Through my falling tears
I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me, to forgive you
But this time, baby, it's your turn to beg
Baby, ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Girl, I used to love you
Place no one else would love you
Gave you everything that I own
Girl, you can't come back here
Ain't nobody home
Once upon a time
When you went on your way
Girl, I hoped and prayed
That you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes
Turned me upside down
So, you can beg me to forgive you
But this time, baby, you can turn right around
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody
Baby, there ain't nobody
I know you hate me once
Hmm, ain't nobody home
Or you can trap me, baby
Hmm, but there still ain't nobody home
Mmm, ain't nobody, ain't nobody home
I hear you knockin', but there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Can you hear me, baby
Then heard one thing too many, baby
Ain't nobody home
