Oh, my head is low
She steady backing out the bedroom door
My eyes move instead
Cross the back of my head
As photos crash into the floor
Maybe she need some time to cool down
But wonder if she coming home
I done it again, opened my mouth when
I probably should have kept it closed
Now baby, let me help you
Tell me what did I do
Or what to tell you
When you run and hide
You wearing all your feelings
I know you don’t mean it
When you kick and scream
And tell me that you leaving
But I’ll wait
100 nights for you
Oh, I’m at the door
She steady backing out the driveway
My mouth open wide,
“Baby don’t leave!” I cry
Hopin that it ain’t too late
Maybe she see soon what we got here
But wonder if she had enough
I done it again, causing her pain when
I only meant to show her love
CHORUS
Oh, I’m all alone
Feel like I waited 99 nights
A sound at the front door
I hold my breath and hope
She waiting on the other side
Maybe I’m dreaming that she come home
But wonder if it can’t be true
I turn the knob and an empty doormat
Well, give it just another night or two
