Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
YEAH, BABY LISTEN
THEY TRY TO PLAY YOU FOR IT ALL
PUT YOUR BACK UPON THE WALL
ANOTHER HEARTACHE
YEAH DREAM OF AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
BUT YOU'RE UNDERNEATH THE GUN
GET BACK
OH BABY COME BACK AND HIDE AWAY
COME ON AND STAY FOR A WHILE
THEY SHOOT YOU MONEY FOR YOUR SMILE
MAKE YOU COMPROMISE YOUR STYLE
CAUSE IT'S THE WRONG ONE
GOT ALL THE RICHES YOU DON'T NEED
IT DON'T MATTER WE ALL BLEED
TO BE WITH SOMEONE
GET BACK
OH BABY COME BACK AND HIDE AWAY
IT'S ALL THE RICHES YOU NEED
CAUSE IT AINT THE FIRST TIME
YOU TRADED PASSION FOR A CADILLAC
AND THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME
CAUSE WE ALWAYS GET IT BACK
ALWAYS CHILLS YOU TO THE BONE
FAR AWAY FROM HOME WHEN YOUR SO LONELY
FLY UPON THE GOLDEN BREEZE
HEAR ME WHISPER IN THE TREES
BUT YOU CANT SEE ME
YA KEEP BREATHIN MY NAME
THEY TRY TO PLAY YOU FOR IT ALL
PUT YOUR BACK UPON THE WALL
ANOTHER HEARTACHE
YEAH DREAM OF AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
BUT YOU'RE UNDERNEATH THE GUN
AND IT'S A COLD SHAME
GET BACK
BABY COME BACK AND HIDE AWAY
C'MON N' COME BACK TO ME
BABY COME BACK AND HIDE AWAY
C'MON N' COME BACK TO ME
