When You Get Back Lyrics

The world belongs around you

That's something to belong to

You've got something missing in me

You left the life of virtue

To them that might deserve you

And drifted out to sea

You left your home in haste

How I longed to keep you safe

And lately I don't mind the mixed company

Lately I don't mind, cause you promised me

You'd call me when you get back

You'd call me when you get back

You'd call me when you get back

And we'll leave it at that

Time's allied most seldom

With those in need of helping

So much love I never will set free

Letter after letter

I felt you knew me better

So I listened when you said to let it be

Twist your hair, and I'll call it mine

Wear me thin as a lucky dime

And lately I don't mind when I hear about

Lately I don't mind who you bring around

I know you'll call me when you get back

You'll call me when you get back

You'll call me when you get back

And we'll leave it at that

The world rolls on around you

So lucky to have found you
