 Lyrics: 
 ------- 
 (VERSE) 
 She's a car broken down out on the highway 
 She's a good little girl but her daddy don't know 
 I said my bed is just a moment away 
 She stops herself, she solds herself, and she shakes her head 
 She says, "I'm all alone in this town. 
  I'm gonna buy myself some brand new things. I'm gonna get myself together. 
  I'm gonna break myself and take myself to some other time." 
 A brand new dress, some brand new shoes, a brand new cup for tea 
 Don't burn yourself, don't hurt yourself, don't fall down on your face 
 I made my bed, I'm gonna sleep in it 
 But I'm gonna get myself some clean new sheets 
  
 (CHORUS) 
 Baby come back 
 Make yourself whole 
 Baby come home 
 Choke the medicine down 
  
 (VERSE) 
 Water well, washing well, come wash me away 
 I think I hurt myself or cut myself on some other day 
 She says, "Don't think it's no good for it all 
  Some days it's good, some days it's bad 
  Most days you can't wash it off." 
  
 (CHORUS) 
 Baby come back 
 Make yourself whole 
 Baby come home 
 Choke the medicine down 
  
 Baby come back 
 Make yourself whole 
 Baby come home 
 Choke the medicine down

 NOTES: 
   Well, there it is. It should be correct, but the last part 
   of the riff may be wrong. As always, comments/corrections/additions 
   are welcome.

   feeling is pain.  Everything I need 
   is denied to me, and everything I want 
   is taken away from me.  But who have 
   I got to blame?  Nobody but me. 
      It's time I got back...."
