He's comin home he's done his time Now I've gotta look into this heart of mine I thought that I'd forgotten those sweet tender years we knew But as I read his letter now my heart is torn in two Wanting him.....wanting you Should I tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree He's been gone so long you've been so good to me We vowed our love forever by the old oak tree So try again to understand something's pulling me Down to the old bus station by the old oak tree Frank you're the nicest guy I know But beleive me now I've gotta be alone I've gotta search my memories For feelings left aside Oh yes I know you love me And I might love you inside But I just cant make up my mind Should I tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree He's been good to the kids you've been good to me We vowed our love forever by the old oak tree So try again to understand something's pulling me Down to the old bus station by the old oak tree Forgive me but I'm busy now It takes a lot of time you see To find a hundred yellow ribbons for the old oak tree He's coming home......He's coming home
