Come Back To Me
珍妮·杰克逊Janet Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking through my old drawer
Came across the letter you wrote
Said you needed time away
That was so long ago
All my life I've waited
To see your smile again
In my mind I hated
Not able to let go

Come back to me
I'm beggin' you please
Come back to me
I want you to
Come back to me
I'm beggin' you please
Come back to me

Lord knows that I have tried
To live my life as one
Friends tell me to hold on
Tough times don't last for long
My abandoned heart
Just doesn't understand
My undying love for you
Won't let me wait

Come back to me
I'm beggin' you please
Come back to me
I want you to
Come back to me
I'm beggin' you please
Come back to me
I want you to
Come back to me (come back to me)
Come back
I want you to
Come back to me
Come back

Please come back to me
I miss you so much
Wherever you are I love you
All my life I've waited
To see your smile again
In my mind I hated
Not able to let go
Not able to let go




Hooh, huh, I won't let you go
No no no

This is not simply a song. This is a piece of art.

It really is - it's a tale of the broken hearted everywhere . I played this when my first boyfriend broke up with me in 1980 and now after the death of my beloved husband of nearly 40 years 💔😢
