Come See About Me
Earl Van Dyke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby
Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep
Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I'm so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about your baby (Come see about me)
Hurry, hurry

The fire within the singer is still burning and they are crying and sighing until the other person comes back. The singer has given up their friends for this person and they are still in love with them, no matter what they do, say or how much they hurt them.

I've been crying
I have been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Because I am lonely for you
Smiles have all turned to tears
The happiness has faded, and tears have taken its place
But tears won't wash away the fears
Crying will not ease the worries
That you're never ever gonna return
The fear that you will never come back
To ease the fire that within me burns
To relieve the burning passion within me
It keeps me crying baby for you
I keep crying for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
I keep sighing for you
So won't you hurry
Please hurry

With you not around
Without you here
From my arms you maybe out of reach
I may not be able to hold you
But my heart says you're here to keep
But my heart believes you are here with me
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
I will keep crying for you
