GIt was take 54 when she walked through the door
With the Dred light on it
I D7knew in a minute if I wanted to get in it
Then I'd Ghave to get on it  
I sang my Cballs off for you baby
I worked my Dfingers to the bone
I closed my Eeyes to get the high note
But when I Awoke up I was alone 
Chorus:
CBaby, baby Gcome back 
I Dneed you to make a good Gtrack 
CBaby, baby Gcome back
DBaby, baby come Gback
Well I saw her today back in studio A
We were just gettin' started--
I sang for a minute, she couldn't get in it, 
I felt broken hearted--
I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone--

Chords in this song · guitar

It was take 54 when she walked through the door

With the red light on it

I knew in a minute if I wanted to get in it

Then I'd have to get on it

I sang my balls off for you baby

I worked my fingers to the bone

I closed my eyes to get the high note

But when I woke up I was alone

Chorus:

C G

Baby, baby come back

D G

I need you to make a good track

C G

Baby, baby come back

D G

Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today back in studio A

We were just gettin' started--

I sang for a minute, she couldn't get in it,

I felt broken hearted--

I sang my balls off for you baby

I almost broke the microphone

I even sang the song that you wrote

But when I woke up I was alone--

Chorus
