I Can't Go Home Again - Thelma Houston

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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…
