Chicago Send Her Home - Jerry Butler

She got caught up in the hipness of the city

She can’t remember what she bemoans

Cold days and nights, fine was standing on the corner

Tryin' hard to hustle her way back home

Well, she’s really a good girl

But oh, it’s too late now, now, now

To leave a man who doesn’t care at all

About nothin' but the price the girl’s been bringin'

From going out… send her home

Oh Chicago, send my baby home

To the ones who love her, no matter how wrong

See, her mama’s worried (mama's worried)

And her daddy’s gone (daddy's gone)

But I still love her (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home

And I still love her (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home

Summer nights we spent sleepin' in fields of green

I remember like the names I carved on our secret tree

She never complained about the simple life

Until this long ride pulled up at my baby’s feet

Oh, she’s really a good girl

But it’s a little too late now

To leave a man who doesn’t care at all

About nothing but the price, that she’s gonna bring

From going out… oh, send her home

And Chicago, send my baby home

To the ones who love her, no matter how wrong

See, her mother’s worried (mama's worried)

And her daddy’s gone (daddy's gone)

And I still love her (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home

And I still love her (I still love her), oo-wee

Chicago, send her home

Every now and then, I receive a letter

Telling me «Hey boy, I’m doing fine»

And ooh… I know a little bit better

'Cause I see the tears lost from in-between lines

Hey Chicago, send my baby home

To the ones who love her, no matter how wrong

See, her mother’s worried (mama's worried)

And her daddy’s gone (daddy's gone)

Oh, I still love her (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home

And I still love her (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home

And I still… (I still love her), oh my baby

Chicago, send her home

And if you see her (I still love her), I want you to tell her

(Chicago, send her home)

«Now Jerry, stay on down here waiting» (I still love her)

Chicago, send her home…
