Why don't you call your mother more then 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 hit 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've 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 twele and a half
The game we used to play were just for a laugh
As we grew up together I never dreamed you'd
leave your family, your old time 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've 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!
And everyone knows I need you too!
