Ain't Nobody Home - Dinah Washington

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 (nobody's home)

Ain’t nobody home (nobody's home)

How many times I begged

For you to come home

But you laughed at me

And said let me alone

Through my burning tears

I saw you walk away

And now you’re

Begging me to forgive you

But this time, baby

It’s your turn to beg

Baby, ain’t nobody home (nobody's home)

(Nobody's home) ain’t nobody home

Girl, I used to love you

(Nobody knows)

In ways no one else would love you

(The trouble I’ve seen)

Gave you everything that I own

Girl, you can’t come back here

Ain’t nobody home

(Nobody's 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 home)

Ain’t nobody home

(Ain't nobody home)

Baby, there ain’t nobody home
