lyrics

Eddie Floyd wrote this song
And we’re gonna sing it for you now

Baby don’t you worry about that man
I’ll be coming home as soon as I can
He’s got you in the palm of his hand
Don’t give a damn about your wedding band

You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know, no no no no, you don’t know

I’ve got lovin’ him on my mind
And I’m worried you’re gonna be home on time
I just wanna do this for once in my life
Even though you know I’m still your lovin’ wife

You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know, no no no no, you don’t know

Here I am, knocking on the door
Here I am, crying on the floor
When I see you reduced down to tears
I keep thinking about all the years
Gone by, but why do I have to lie

Baby, should I stay, or should I go away?
Maybe I’ve done wrong, but darling come what may
Without you, our house is not a home
I was blind, I guess I should have known

You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know what you mean to me
You don’t know, no no no no, you don’t know

Eddie Floyd wrote that song
And we just sang it to you now
