Come to Me
Carl Thomas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, there's something that I just want to tell you
And, you know I never needed you more than I need you right now
And I swallow my pride and
I'm really ready to listen
Just come to me
Tell me I'm the one

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

Said I need to know
About the way you're feeling, baby
'Cause in my heart love just wants to grow, oh
So I'll move it slow
Because there's no real way of knowing
If you feel the same and want to show, show me

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

You're my baby girl
And nothing else could ever matter
When we love I just can't get enough
But if we move too fast
Then we regret the morning after
When will there be time enough for us, for us

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need
Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

You make me feel so brand new
I just want to spend my time with you
And I'll never let someone so true
I just want to love you over

Oh baby, come to me
Say you'll love me over
I really need to be
Your one and only lover
I can give you what you need




Say you'll love over
Oh can't you love me over again

Overall Meaning

The overall message of the song "Come To Me" by Carl Thomas is that the singer is ready to listen and be there for his partner, even if that means swallowing his pride. He feels that he needs his partner more than ever and is asking them to let him know if they feel the same way. He also acknowledges that moving too fast can lead to regret, but he's willing to take things slow and build a strong relationship with his partner. The chorus "Oh baby, come to me, Say you'll love me over, I really need to be your one and only lover" emphasizes that he wants to be the one and only love in his partner's life and that he's willing to do what it takes to make that happen.


The beginning of the song sets up the tension and vulnerability that the singer is feeling. He needs his partner to come to him and tell him that he's the one for them. The second verse takes a more cautious approach, reflecting the fear of moving too fast and regretting it. He's trying to gauge his partner's feelings and wants to take things slow so that they don't get hurt. The bridge brings in the theme of time - when will there be time enough for them? The singer wants to build a future with his partner and create a love that lasts.
