Once upon a time, a long, long time ago
Wherever you'd lead me, I would surely follow
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing on my doorstep
Telling me, how much you need me

Baby, ain't nobody home (nobody's home)
Ain't nobody home (nobody's home)

How many times I begged for you to come home
But you laughed at me and said let me alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me, to forgive you
But this time, baby, it's your turn to beg

Baby, ain't nobody home (nobody's home)
Ain't nobody home (nobody home)

Girl, I used to love you, placed no one else above you
Gave you everything that I own (nobody's home)
Girl, you can't come back here
Ain't nobody home (nobody's home)

Once upon a time, when you went on your way
Girl, I hoped and prayed that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, turned me upside down
So, you can beg me, to forgive you
But this time, baby, you can turn right around

(Ain't) ain't nobody home (nobody home)
Ain't nobody (ain't), baby, ain't nobody (nobody home)
You know you hurt me once (ain't nobody, nobody home), hmm
Ain't nobody home (ain't, ain't nobody home)
Oh, you can beg me baby, (ain't, ain't nobody home), hmm
(Ain't nobody) still nobody home, (nobody home), hmm
(Ain't nobody) ain't nobody, baby (nobody home)
(Ain't nobody) ain't nobody home (nobody home)
I hear you knockin' (ain't nobody, ain't nobody home)
