Ain't Nobody Home

B.B. King

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 
Ain't nobody home 

How many times I begged for you to come home, 
but you laughed at me and said let me alone 
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away 
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, 
but this time, baby, it's your turn to beg 
Baby, ain't nobody home 
Ain't nobody home 

Girl, I used to love you, placed no one else above you 
Gave you everything that I own 
Girl, you can't come back here 
Ain't nobody home 

Once upon a time, when you went on your way 

But, 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 
Girl, you hurt me once 
I hear you knockin'
