Transcript

At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song...

I'm comin' home, baby (Come on home)
Comin' home baby, now (You know I'm waitin' here for you)
I'm comin' home now, ree-al soon (You've been gone)
Comin' home baby, now (You don't know what I'm goin' through)
I'm comin' home I know I'm overdue (Since you went away - how I feel, too)
S'pect me any day, now real soon (soon)...

(Return of the Mack) it is
(Return of the Mack) come on
(Return of the Mack) oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) here I am
(Return of the Mack) once again
(Return of the Mack) pump up the world
(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) here I go...

I am a passenger
And I ride and I ride.
Singin': La la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la la-la...

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town...

Oh my god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home
And oh my god I can't believe it
I've never been this far away from home...

When the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for me...

Welcome home, welcome
Come on in, and close the door
You've been gone, too long
Welcome, you're home once more
Welcome home, welcome...
