Baby Come Back
Alcazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be your everything
I'm gonna stalk you after midnight
I'll stalk you when the bells are ringing
And we can make it work alright tonight
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest love of all?
Can you help me?
I'm waiting for the day
Every night I'm gonna pray
Baby come back to me
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be with me?
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be with me?
Don't you wanna be with me?
Yes I do now, yes I do now
Don't you wanna be with me?
Don't you wanna be with me?
I know how you have been defending
I save your prayers every day
But baby you can't stop pretending
Tonight I'm gonna come your way
Mirror mirror upon the wall
Can you tell me
Who's the greatest love of all?
Can you help me?
I'm feeling kinda blue
'Cause my everything is you
Baby come back to me
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be with me?
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be with me?
Don't you wanna be with me?
Yes I do now, yes I do now
Don't you wanna be with me?
Don't you wanna be with me?
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be with me?
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be, don't you?
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be with me?
Baby come back, baby come back
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be with me?
