Thelma Houston — I Can't Go Home Again (Reachin' All Around 1982)

Текст песни: I Can't Go Home Again (Reachin' All Around 1982)

[Verse 1]
Lay me down, pretend I'm real
I'll give you all the love I'm paid to feel
I'm soft as snow, hard as stone
I never knew the man I've known
I can't go home again

[Verse 2]
Come with me, I'll light a flame
It doesn't matter if you know my name
I'm sweet as pie, tough as nails
I live a lie, and count the sails
I can't go home again

[Chorus]
Home is where I left the people, yeah
People who believed in me
Everyone was warm to one I love
Love is true only [?], how I wish I still belonged there

[Verse 3]
Take me now, ooh, the time is right
And when you're seeing me out into the night
If someone asks, I'll say "yes"
What's one more, more or less?
I can't, I can't go home again
[Chorus]
Home is where you feel like someone, yeah
Someone that somebody needs
And when things go wrong, you have each other
'Cause love is free there, how I wish I, I still could be there

[Verse 4]
Lay me down, make love to me
Pretend I'm all the things I'll never be
Fill your needs, quench your thirst
Hold me tight, but pay me first
I can't, I can't go home again

[Verse 5]
Soft as snow, hard as stone
Never knew the man I've known
I can't, I can't go home again
Fill your needs, and quench your thirst
Hold me tight, but pay me first
I can't, I can't go home again

[Outro]
(Soft as snow, hard as stone
Never knew the man I've known)
Oh, I know, I know I can't go home again
(If someone asks, I'll say "yes"
What's one more, more or less?)
Never knew the man I've known...
