Charlene Lyrics

Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
To hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold

She must have told me a thousand times before
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her

Baby I'll be (be)
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again (waiting on you babe)
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end (and I'll be here , yeah, oh)
By your side (oh)
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life (yeah)
Come on home to me Charlene

She knows I really love this old music thing
Since I was a child it's been my dream
I can support her treat her and spoil her
You know buy her the finer things

But I forgot about loving her
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
What about the hard days she had with the baby?
All she need is for me to love her

Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again (I'll be waiting)
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end (said I'll promise I'll be here)
By your side (oh no no no)
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life (yeah hey)
Come on home to me (to me), Charlene (Charlene)
Woah ohh

Promise I can't live without her (can't live without her)
God knows I need her loving (oh)
(Ooh) and it hurts so bad (and it hurts)
(Hurts me so bad) that's she gone away, ohh
I pray
She'll come back one day (she'll come home, she'll come home)
In my life (in my life, ohh)

Baby I'll be (baby I'll be)
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again (sitting here waiting baby)
I won't leave (I won't leave)
Promise I'll be here to the very end (I'll be witchu' you for life)
By your side
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life (say I won't go nowhere, oh)
Come on home (come on home)
To me (to me)
Charlene (baby oh)

Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you're listening
Would you call on me?
'Cause my heart is aching
Call me

What is the Meaning of Charlene?

Ah, the classic tale of a man who took his eye off the love ball! In "Charlene," Anthony Hamilton serenades us with a soulful apology to his lady, lamenting how his music career dreams had him dancing away from what truly mattered—his queen at home. Charlene, feeling more solo than a solo act, drops a note saying she's had enough of the empty bed blues. Now, our man is singing the regrets and promises tune, hoping his heartfelt croons can teleport her back into his arms. It’s a smooth blend of 'oops' and 'please come back', wrapped in velvety vocals that almost make you forgive him on the spot. Almost.
