"Bring It on Home to Me" is a song about a man pleading with his lover not to leave him. He implores her to bring her sweet love back home to him. The song begins with the man stating that if she ever changes her mind about leaving him behind, he wants her to bring her sweet loving back home to him. The man admits that he laughed when his lover left but now realizes that he's only hurt himself. He then repeats his plea for her to come back to him with her sweet love.
The man then offers her jewelry, money, and anything else he can do for her if only she'll come back to him with her love. He repeats his plea for her to come home to him once more before saying that he'll always be her slave until he's dead and buried in his grave. The song ends with the man repeating his earlier plea for his lover to bring her love back home to him.
The song has a soulful sound, with a strong rhythm and blues influence. It showcases lead singer Eric Burdon's powerful vocals and the band's ability to create a catchy melody that stays with the listener long after the song ends. The song was written by Sam Cooke, who was a prominent soul and R&B singer in the 1950s and 60s.

If you ever change your mind
In case you decide to reconsider your decision
About leaving, leaving me behind
Of walking away and leaving me behind
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Come back to me and return your affection
Bring it on home to me, oh yeah
Bring your love and affection back to me
You know I laughed, when you left
At the time I thought it was funny when you left
But now I know I've only hurt myself
But now I realize that I've caused myself pain and suffering
I'll give you jewelry, money too
I'll provide, to you, both precious metal and money
and that's not all, all I'll do for you
But, that's not everything I am willing to do for you
You know I'll always be your slave
I'm committed to you and will never be free of your influence
Until I'm dead and buried in my grave
Until I die and am laid to rest
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Return your affection to me as I desire, oh yeah

Return your affection to me as I desire, oh yeah
