Chicago Send Her Home by Jerry Butler Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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...
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Every now and then, I receive a letter
Telling me "Hey boy, I'm doing fine"
And ooh... I know a little bit better

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
[Outro]
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...
