CHARLES ROBINSON
(DON?T CHA COME BACK TO NOWHERE)
Music & Lyrics By
Gayla Smith
VERSE 1:
DID ANYBODY SEE YOU CRYIN? IN THE DARK
WAITING FOR ONE BRIGHT SPARK IN YOUR EYES
YOU WERE FROZEN IN THE HEAT
FEEL THE WAVES TOUCH YOUR FEET AND YOUR
MAMMA SAID THERE?S A SONG IN YOUR HEAD
DON?T CHA COME BACK TO NOWHERE
I CAN?T DO WHAT CHA NEED ME TO NO MORE
MAMMA CRIED WHILE LITTLE RAY CHARLES TRIED
TO BUILD THE STONE OF HIS TOMORROW
SHE SAID DON?T CHA COME BACK CHARLES ROBINSON
DON?T CHA COME BACK TO NOWHERE
VERSE 2:
WAS ANYBODY RIDIN? WITH YOU ON THE ROAD
ALL THOSE MILES SPOKE IN CODE IN YOUR HEAD
ALL THE CITIES FLYIN? BY
SAW THEM ALL IN YOUR MIND?S EYE
BUT YOUR ..........(REPEAT CHORUS)
