Why Can't You Bring Me Home

Jay & The Americans

Why do we always meet on the edge of town?

Why do we have to wait till the sun goes down?

Where do you live and why don't you even give me a place to go?



CHORUS:

Come on baby, why can't you bring me

Baby baby, why can't you bring me

Come on baby, why can't you bring me home?



Baby baby, why can't you bring me home?



I'll ask around but nobody knows for sure

But they agree that your folks are mighty rude

Are you ashamed of the way you were raised,

And that's why it stays unknown?



(chorus)



You may not wear such pretty clothes

But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose



What do I care if I see a broken chair?

Why do I need the best kind of silverware?

All that I need to make me complete is your tender love alone



(repeat chorus and fade)
