Here and the tape machine's goin'
Let's get right on top of the beat
You know, real heavy on the beat
Let's just take our time, see
And I don't know what's gonna happen let's just do it

I don't work in your candy kitchen
Mama, I don't sell no chewin' gum
I don't work in your candy kitchen
Baby, I don't sell no chewin' gum
Still don't wear no pick and shovel

Baby, I roam from shore to shore
Woman (is) kinda like the weather
Man, you can't tell what she's gonna do
Woman kinda like the weather
Man, you can't tell what she's gonna do
She's liable to cloud up and rain on you
Man, when you ain't expectin' her to

(Look here, baby, I need you to come back home)
You know I'm goin' back home
Baby, if it takes whole week and a day
You know I'm goin' back home
Baby, if it takes a whole week and a whole day
You know I been a long time coming, but
Honey I was steady on my way
(I need you to help me one more time)
(Let's go home, mama)
