Verse:

Like a kid who stays a -way from school,

I left to roam played hook -ey from Home Sweet Home

I've been like most an -y oth -er fool

Who goes a -way to stray that's why I say

 

Chorus:

Tie me to your a -pron strings a -gain

I know there's room for me up -on your knee

Bring back all those hap -py hours when

You kissed my tears a -way From day to day

I thought that I was right but I was wrong

Please take me back to -night where I be -long

Sing a cra -dle song to me and then

Won't you tie me to your a -pron strings a -gain.
