[Intro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
This is a wake, lay your head on my pillow
By the time you're awake, baby you’ll be my widow
I taught you how to feel when you thought you never could
And I taught you how to love, nobody ever would

[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight I gotta go, somebody's waitin' home
So after this rendezvous, might as well be dead to you

[Chorus]
Goin’ back (the red eye, the red eye)
Oh, goin' back (on the red eye, the red eye)
Ooh, I'm goin' back (the red eye, the red eye)
Yeah, I'm goin' back (the red eye, the red eye)

[Verse 2]
Girlfriend so runnin' through trouble
And I love her sayin' the way you move
Soak it good, now and me to know
In you, gotta love it too, darlin’ love it so

[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight I’m going home, waitin' for a love
So after this rendezvous, might as well be dead to you

[Chorus]
Goin’ back (the red eye, the red eye)
Oh, girl, I'm goin' back (the red eye, the red eye)
I'm goin’ back (the red eye, the red eye)
Oh, girl, I'm goin' back (the red eye, the red eye)

[Outro]
Oh, where's your love gone?
Didn't know you were so in the love with her
Felt lost in the world, woah
Oh, yeah
The red eye, the red eye, mm
And I want you to know, my love
I've been patient
