Take one last look… before you leave,
’cause oh, somehow it means so much to me.
And if you ever need me, you know where I’ll be.
So please call home… if you change your mind.
Oh, I don’t mind.
I guess I saw it comin’… day by day.
But oh, I could not stand the failure.
Before you leave, there’s just one thing I must say.
Please call home… if you change your mind.
Oh, I don’t mind.
And I know, that you’re used to runnin’.
Oh you’re lost baby, and I ain’t funnin’.
But oh, when you call to me, well, I’ll come runnin’
safe to your side… again I’ll confide… in you.
So go on, I won’t say no more.
My heart ain’t in it, but I’ll hold the door.
But just remember, what I said before.
Please call home… if you change your mind.
