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
