Come Back Billie Jo [B-Side of Power To All Our Friends]

Why don't you call your mother
More than you do?
She lies awake at night
And cries for you
Why don't you write a letter?
Or maybe even better
Take the morning train
And head for home again

Come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
She's baked an apple pie
The way she used to
Come back Billie-Jo
She longs to see you
You could be here in no time
If you choose to
You always were an independent girl
But you have time enough to see the world
Oh, come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
And everyone knows I need you too

When you were just a child
Of twelve and a half
The games we used to play
Were just for a laugh
As we grew up together
I never dreamed you'd ever
Leave your family, your olds
And friends and me

Come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
She's baked an apple pie
The way she used to
Come back Billie-Jo
She longs to see you
You could be here in no time
If you choose to
You always were an independent girl
But you have time enough to see the world
Oh, come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
And everyone knows I need you too

Come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
She's baked an apple pie
The way she used to
Come back Billie-Jo
Your mama needs you
And everyone knows I need you too.
