I stopped by at the party of an old friend
And then I saw this old sweetheart I once knew
And I vowed as I sat me down beside her
that darling I was coming home to you
Can I help it if she was going my way
And we talked about old friends we used to know
And I'm sure we had that green light at the corner
Anyone who saw the wreck could tell you so
I was only gonna drop her off at her place
And then darling I was coming home to you
[ guitar ]
Then you came and you saw her lying there beside me
Please believe me dear that romance is through
Even though I know you saw her arms around me
darling I was coming home to you
But darling I was coming home to you
And then I saw this old sweetheart I once knew
And I vowed as I sat me down beside her
that darling I was coming home to you
Can I help it if she was going my way
And we talked about old friends we used to know
And I'm sure we had that green light at the corner
Anyone who saw the wreck could tell you so
I was only gonna drop her off at her place
And then darling I was coming home to you
[ guitar ]
Then you came and you saw her lying there beside me
Please believe me dear that romance is through
Even though I know you saw her arms around me
darling I was coming home to you
But darling I was coming home to you
