Come Back
Ahmir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So if its too late and I can't create a way to fix my mistakes
I'll be on my way to another state I won't stay another day.
Just say the word and I'll be on my curb (I think)
Cause that's all that I deserve.

Don't want nobody else but you.
Won't settle for somebody new.
Don't wanna live this life without you.
I need you here with me right now..

You ever wanted something so bad that you just can't have??
You ever needed that one thing that's not in your grasp.
It's you that I'm wanting and needing like that.
So baby do me this favor and come right on back to me..

On my own, I'm not feeling strong, and I'm gonna stay alone.
Cause moving on is not what I want, the thought of it feels so wrong.
I call your phone, your never home and I'm tired of that ring back tone.
Just speak to me so I can live the dream of being back in ur arms..

Don't want nobody else but you.
Won't settle for somebody new.
Don't wanna live this life without you.
I need you here with me right now..

You ever wanted something so bad that you just can't have??
You ever needed that one thing that's not in your grasp.
It's you that I'm wanting and needing like that.
So baby do me this favor and come right on back to me..

Ever wanted something so bad
Ever needed something not in your grasp
It's you that I'm wanting like that
So do me this favor...
Ever wanted somerthing so bad ((said I want you))
Ever needed something not in your grasp (oooh oooh oooh))
It's you that I'm wanting like that ((like that))
So do me this favor...

So baby do me this favor and come right on back to me
You ever wanted something so bad that you just can't have??
You ever needed that one thing that's not in your grasp??
It's you that I'm wanting and needing like that.
So baby do me this favor and come right on back to me..
Come right on back, come rïght on back to me...

The first verse acknowledges the pain of the situation, with the singer expressing an understanding of the things their partner was trying to communicate.

The second verse reveals just how much the singer wants their partner back, with lines like "Don't want nobody else but you" and "I need you here with me right now."

The way that they get discovered is when people just like you and me tell the world talent of this caliber exists and needs to be heard. Post Ahmir's links on your facebook pages. Tell your family, friends and co workers. A single voice gets lost but a passionate army can never be ignored.

i'm so glad there are groups like you guys who still makes REAL music and not something that sounds like beats and named "blah blah blah" or "tick tock" I appreciate the good music you guys do. You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to listening to more music from you boys.
