Rock Bottom lyrics

written by Babyface, L.A. Reid, Daryl Simmons (1993)

I was sitting here thinkin` `bout my situation
Though I know you got reservations
I was thinkin` we could have it out
`Cause if we had it out
I knew that we could work things out
I know the girlies gotta watch their reputations
They like to know they got a man with dedication
To make a point they gotta put `em out, but truly
Baby girl don`t have to go out that route

So don`t think I don`t love you baby
So don`t think I ain`t been goin` crazy
Don`t think for one minute
You ain`t been on my mind
Don`t think that I`m gone for good
Lord knows that I`ve been misunderstood
Won`t give you up and baby I`ll tell you why

I ain`t never been down
I ain`t never been out
And I ain`t never hit rock bottom
Till the day you put me out
And I know I`ve done some wrong
But I ain`t never hit rock bottom
So baby don`t count me out

I was thinkin` in the mornin` it`d be over when I wake up
But then reality had hit me and I jumped up
I had to get myself a dial tone
I started callin` everybody tryin` to get back home
But everybody that I called was being difficult
I took it personal and took it as an insult
For all the time we had been goin` out
Girl I don`t understand why you would have to go that route

Well I know that I love you baby
And I know that I`m goin` crazy
Don`t think for one minute
You ain`t been on my mind
Don`t think I`m gone for good
Gods knows that I`ve been misunderstood
I won`t give you up and baby I`ll tell you why

HOOK

It`s been much too long
Since you`ve been gone away from me
And I need you home
Oh come back to me baby
`Cause I`m all alone
I`m all alone down on my bending knees
Oh baby, baby
Can I come back home please

HOOK
