All the time you were burning my letters
You were only acting the part
You think without me you’ll get on much better
But you don’t even know your own heart.

Come home darlin’, come home quickly
Come home darlin’, all is forgiven
So come home quickly

I treated you as if you were a princess
You treated me like a cop
I gave you boundries to save you from certain death
Dangling from the end of your rope

Come home darlin’, come home quickly
Come home darlin’, all is forgiven
So come home quickly

But you’re still playin’
for a love you’ll never find
outside these arms of mine

The whole town is one step behind you
With the hangman on call
They’ve got the judge and you’re convicted without a plea
But darlin’ they will listen to me

Darlin’ they will listen to me
Darlin’ they will listen to me
