(Paul Williams and Roger Nichols)
I ran away from you
and left you crying,

And though I'm here to stay
you think I'm lying
But I've changed my ways

and my wandering days are through;
and through it all,
I've kept on loving you.


Chorus:
Don't worry baby please don't cry,

I'm home for good and I will never leave you
Don't worry baby please don't cry,
You must believe me and I will never leave you.


You've heard this all before
I don't deny it

The road was long and wide
I had to try it
Though I hurt you girl

These were things I had to do
But through it all
I kept on loving you.


Chorus:
