   Come On Back, Jack
  Leon Carr, Mort Shuman
   
  Now every woman is entitled to one mistake
The Lord knows I've made one
But baby forgive me half a chance
I wanna make it up to you

Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Who's calling me oh who's calling me
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back

When I told you I was through
And I told you
to move on
I didn't know I'd miss you so
But baby I was wrong
Those nights without your love
They ain't worth thinking of haha

Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Oh woman save your breath
Little woman save your breath

Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back

When you told me you was through
And you told me to move on
I found a sweeter love than you
And it didn't take me long


No now baby please don't you do that to me
I need your crazy kisses so to rock me tenderly
Those nights without your love
They ain't worth thinking of haha

Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back
I'm never coming back ain't never coming back
Come on back Jack hey Jack come on come on back

Now I'm pleading with you baby
What you got to say about it
I ain't coming honey

Now please I'll apologize
I admit I was wrong
I'll help you all I can
But ain't coming remember
I told you I'd get on my feet again


Now wait a minute Jack I'll help you
I told you I was sorry
Baby I done found someone else
