Waiting for Charlie to Come Home Lyrics

[Chorus]
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, wild hungry arms
All of the love I need

[Verse]
I said a lot of things to him
That I really, really didn't mean to say
Instead of holding him close to me, yeah
I drove him far away
Now I'm the fool who let happiness
Just walk out the door
And I don't really believe that he
Wants to come back to me anymore

[Chorus]
I'm waiting, waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, wild hungry arms
Gimmе all the love I need

[Verse]
Now I'm the fool who lеt happiness
Just walk out the door
And I don't really believe that he
Wants to come back to me anymore
[Outro]
He don't want to come back to me
He don't really, really understand me
Gonna give him all the love that I got

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
