Take Me Back
GL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey won't you take me back
Won't you take me back home
Hey won't you take me back
Were you coming or go
Hey won't you take me back
What you turn around for?

No I'm not too good at maybe
No I'm not too good at no
And if you take my hand and save me
Baby don't say no

Hey won't you take me back
Won't you take me back home
Hey won't you take me back
Were you coming or go

Hey

No I'm not too good at maybe
No I'm not too good at no
And if you take my hand and save me
Baby don't say no
Baby don't say no
Baby don't say no

Hey won't you take me back
Won't you take me back home
Hey won't you take me back
Were you coming or go
Hey won't you take me back
Won't you take me back home




Hey won't you take me back
Were you coming or go
