A D                 A 
You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin' 
                       E            A 
Left a note sayin' momma won't be back 
A D                 A 
But you'll come back again and I've got news for you dear 
                 E                 A 
You won't have a home and that's a fact 
 
Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness 
Pack your bags and move on down the line 
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry 
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time 
 
I've always been around, Lord when you needed someone 
I played the role 'til I knew each line by heart 
But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate 
Someone who'll be glad to play the part 
 
Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness 
Pack your bags and move on down the line 
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry 
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time 
 
Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness 
Pack your bags and move on down the line 
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry 
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time
