One-Way Ticket - Tyrone Davis

It took a one-way ticket to nowhere

To make me know that I still care

Those lonely nights without you in sight

Were too much for me to bear

But, oh, I let my pride

Cast your love aside

It took a one-way ticket to nowhere

To make me know I love you

Baby, I love you

(It took a one-way ticket)

I tried to get you off of my mind

By wasting some other girls time

Didn’t have no conversation

Didn’t know my destination

I just laughed to keep from crying

My smile was out of place

It showed all over my face

It took a one-way ticket to nowhere

To make me know I love you, oh, baby

(It took a one-way ticket)

Oh, forgive me, girl

For I know now that it won’t be long

But all you got to do is keep

A light burning in the window

Till T.D. come marching home

Cause I’ll be there, baby

Cause I love you, mmm

That’s why I’m coming back home to you

Cause I love you, oh, baby

Turn around, I got to see my baby

Right now, baby

I’m coming on home to you, mmm

Mama, mama, mama, mama

I got to have you, I love you…
