I had to call you on the 'phone Because I feel so all alone Don't like this being on my own Can't you, won't you hurry home I'll leave the door unlocked in case Like me you find you're out of place I'd give the world to see your face Can't you, won't you hurry home I've learned a lot that I didn't know I was a fool when I let you go Since you've been gone it's all very clear: Life is just an empty thing without you, dear I made an awfully big mistake Oh what a difference love can make Please give my heart another break Can't you, won't you hurry home I set the clock to ring at eight It didn't work so I was late I'm worried 'cause I'm losing weight Can't you, won't you hurry home Our pet canary simply won't sing There's something wrong, the doorbell won't ring When you're away it's all very clear: Life is just a bowl of sour milk, my dear I'm tired of eating food that's canned And nothing's turned out like I planned I know that you will understand Can't you, won't you hurry home
