Sandeman has since disowned her '80s act and returned to her musical beginnings in her native Scotland as a folk singer, performing and recording interpretations of Scottish folk songs with the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra. Aneka's career enjoyed a modest resuscitation as a result of "Japanese Boy" being featured on the soundtrack of the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Come Back To Me
Aneka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come come come back to me
Was all i could say
The day that i lost my baby
Don't know why she wanna leave
When she knows i will do anything for my baby
Now why you wanna do a playa like that
You like him now but you gon' be runnin back
Baby do you hear me, baby do you feel me yeah
I told her she was better than that
And i would treat her better than that
And all she gotta do is come back (come back to me)
Come come come come back to me
Was all i could say
The day she jumped outta my mercedes
The fact she did this on love just drives me crazy
Now why you wanna do a playa like that
You like him now but you gon' be runnin back
And i'll be waitin' for you baby that's a fact
Baby do you hear me, baby do you feel me yeah
I remember when
You told me you would never ever ever leave my side
Now lately all i do is picture you just hoppin' out my ride
Now you got a friend
But he won't do the things i used to do
The things he do
Won't do for you
Tell me baby what you goin' through
I got that go back
I got that get back
I got that won't back kinda love
The song is a plea to a former partner to come back to the singer, who is deeply hurt and misses their presence immensely. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing for the partner to return, with a promise to treat them better than before. The singer believes that they are superior to their partner's current love interest and that the partner will eventually realize this and come back to them. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "come back to me" emphasizes the emotional intensity of the song and the singer's need for their former partner.
The lyrics also explore the singer's confusion and hurt at the sudden departure of their partner. The line "now why you wanna do a playa like that" suggests that the singer feels betrayed by their partner's decision to leave, especially since they were committed to treating them well. The mention of the partner jumping out of the singer's Mercedes further conveys the sense of shock and disbelief at the abrupt separation. The singer's memories of their past together demonstrate the depth of their relationship, making the separation all the more painful.
Overall, the song captures the essence of a person struggling to come to terms with a breakup and pining for their ex-partner. It highlights the emotional turmoil that comes with a sudden separation and provides a sense of hope that reconciliation is possible.

好懷念80年代的歌曲，好令人回味再回味😋
@grzegorzknutelski9393
Well, '80s were my early childhood. Since then I've been listening records that were usually forgotten or severely damaged;(. I try to find records that officially have never been released and theoretically don't exist. Howcome I have them on reel tapes then?? These mostly had been recorded by my grandpa and my father.
Anyway, I need to sincerely say - thank you for sharing your records. To me, it doesn't matter if it's tape, vinyl, shellac, Beta, VHS or whatever. I collect nearly everything that never touched digital playback. Unfortunately Youtube is the most popular and used medium.
Greg.
