Come On
Chocolate Watch band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
Come on, since me and my baby parted
Come on, I can't get started
Come on, I can't afford to check
Everything is wrong since I've been without you
Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you
Every time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number
Come on, since I've been without you
Come on, always thinkin' about you
Come on, phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number
Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
I really wanna see you and I don't mean maybe
I'm doin' everything tryin' to make you see
That I belong to you, hon' and you belong to me
Come on, I wanna see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I'm tryin' to make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, I gotta see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I've gotta make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
The lyrics of Chocolate Watchband's "Come On" tell the story of a man who is in distress since his partner left him. The song begins with the singer expressing his frustrations, saying that everything has gone wrong since he parted with his baby. He does not have a car to move around, and even when he's walking, things still don't seem to work out. He wishes that someone could hit his car, and thus it could be destroyed - a clear indication of how everything in his life seems out of control.
The chorus of the song echoes the first verse, with the singer repeating his desperation. He seems stuck, unable to move forward as every part of his life seems to be in shambles. Even when the phone rings, which one would consider a small thing, it sounds like thunder, perhaps indicating his high level of anxiety.
In the last verse, the singer declares that he wants to see his baby again. He is trying everything he can to make her see that they belong together. This verse suggests that he is not ready to give up on their relationship and still believes that they are meant to be together. The chorus repeats once more, and the song ends with the singer's desperation.

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
My life has been a mess ever since I broke up with my partner
All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started
My car won't start, so I have to walk around all day
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it
I lost my job and can't even afford to repair my car
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
I wish someone would hit my car and destroy it so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore
Everything is wrong since I've been without you
My life has been terrible since we broke up and I haven't had you in my life anymore
Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you
I lay awake every night, unable to sleep because you're always on my mind
Every time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
The phone ringing startles me like a bolt of thunder, because I hope it's you calling me
Some stupid guy tryin' to reach another number
It's usually just some idiot dialing the wrong number
Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
My life has been awful since I last laid eyes on you
I really wanna see you and I don't mean maybe
I desperately want to see you, and I'm not just saying that to be polite
I'm doin' everything tryin' to make you see
I'm doing everything I can to convince you that we should be together
That I belong to you, hon' and you belong to me
We belong together and we should be each other's partners
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please, please let's get back together
