Come Back Home
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my, oh yeah
Baby, I gotta call you up
I feel the need for you tonight
Oh, my little apple
I'd certainly take a bite
My poor body's calling
'Til you're hear beside me, baby
That's how long this pain is gonna last
You'd better come back home
Come back home
You've better come back home
You've better come back home (oh yeah)
Can't remember how long it's been
I've sure lost track of time
Don't ask me, how am I doing?
I can't say I'm doing fine
My world is topsy-turvy
Everything is upside down
It's no use explaining
Got to come see what's going
You'd better come back home
Come back home (oh babe)
You'd better come back home
You'd better come back home (please)
Hey, you give to me, and I'll give to you
You do it to me, and I'll do it to you
Baby, give to me, and I'll give to you
You do it me, baby
Baby, I've gotta call you up
I feel the need for you tonight
Oh, my little apple
I'd certainly take a bite
My little body is calling
And needs attention fast
Until you're hear beside me, baby
That's how long it's gonna last
You'd better come back home
Come back home (baby)
You've better come back home
You've gotta come back home
Oh, listen to me, baby
Listen to me, my sweet
These things have no say
Honestly, I'm coming straight
There's this little tingling
That constantly comes on
I don't feel it for nobody else
Only you alone
You'd better come back home
Come back home (baby)
You've gotta come back home
You've gotta come back home
You do it to me
And I'll do it to you
You give to me
And I'll give to you
You do it to me
And I'll do it to you
You give to me, baby
You've gotta come back home
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I need your tender touch, baby
You do it to me one more time
I need this old time feeling
In "Come Back Home," Beres Hammond appeals to his lover to return home to him as he misses her deeply. He starts by telling her that he needs her tonight, and he would gladly 'take a bite' out of his 'little apple.' He further describes how his body is calling out for her and needs attention. He tells her that his pain will last until she comes back home. Beres is requesting that his lover come back to him because he cannot seem to remember how long she has been gone or how he’s been feeling during this time. His world is upside down and he needs her presence to soothe him.
In the chorus, Beres Hammond repeats his plea, telling his lover that she had better come back home as he cannot explain what is going on in his life until she has returned. The lyrics use the imagery of giving and receiving in a relationship where one action begets another. Beres insists that if she gives to him, he would give back, and he would do the same for her. He believes they can do whatever it takes to satisfy each other.
In the bridge, Beres Hammond moves away from negotiation mode and begs his lover to listen to him, confessing that only she alone can fulfill him. He reminds her that he has this little tingling he only feels for her and nobody else. In the end, he implores his lover to come back home, telling her he is lonely and needs her tender touch. Beres Hammond's "Come Back Home" conveys a sense of yearning for a lover and a deep longing for their presence.

Sept 2021 during lockdown
Bro god say no outside
But beres got me wanting to call that woman back home ...
Break curfew
Dnt stop at no roadblock
The road is open
Cause everybody suppose to be at home.
Make sure you got your mask
Some sanitizer handy
One suit of clothes
But come back home

This all depends on religion if it is the same as Christianity or Catholic and etc please read but if different or not having a religion you don’t have to read Sharing the message DONT say God’s name in Vain it means your saying his name has no purpose or he doesn’t mean anything please say oh my gosh Also please don’t believe in Zodiacs their not supposed to tell you who you are you find yourself it is also a sin to God also DONT believe in luck DONT say it to others it means your saying God DIDNT plan it for you Also DONT say karma as luck DONT say it to others this saying is also a Sin as luck is karma it is not Christian nor Biblical though others have different religions if you have this religion please listen Ex:Christians should not believe in karma because the sum of people's works does not decide whether they are saved or not. Only faith in Jesus Christ saves people from condemnation. Through God's grace, Christians are gifted a relationship with Jesus instead of the death they deserve. lastly DONT curse it dishonors God and is also a sin also DONT lie.
"thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour"; for this reason, lying is generally considered a sin in Christianity.
Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence—the opposite of humility and a source of social friction. It's even been called the “deadliest sin.” ... Pride makes us feel good, and it's an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way congruent with the values of our society.
DONT say that someone or yourself is ugly it means your saying your DONT like the way God made you but he made you that way for a reason.”
DONT believe in fortune tellers or magic because God has been planning for your future
“A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.” “A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends” (11:13; 16:28, NIV).”
Jesus Christ called the Holy Spirit "Spirit of Truth" (John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13) and warned us, "All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men" (Matthew 12:31).
