Come Back
Haddaway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stay, I decide
I never wanted to see your face again
But when you passed me by
I was back on fire

Love, love has got a hold of me
(Baby, just can't you see?)
Love, love has got a hold of me
(Hold of me)
Come back, come back

Since I closed my eyes and
Made a picture of you in my mind
My love is eating me
I want you by my side

Love, love has got a hold of me
(Baby just can't you see)
Love, love has got a hold of me
(Hold of me)
Come back, come back

Oh, come back
Oh, come back
Come back
Come back

Love, love has got a hold of me
(Love, baby, just can't you see?)
Love, love has got a hold of me
(Love, hold of me)
Love, love has, love has




Love has, love has got a hold of me
Come back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Haddaway's song "Come Back" portray a feeling of longing for a past love. The singer initially expresses his determination to move on and never see his former partner's face again. However, when he accidentally encounters the person, he feels a spark of attraction that reignites the emotions he's been trying to quench. He describes being captured by love and how it has taken over his thoughts and feelings. The vision he had created of the person haunts him, causing him to crave their company even more. The song's refrain implores his lover to come back to him, expressing a feeling of desperation and a powerful desire to be reunited.


The lyrics of the song provide an accurate portrayal of human emotion, making it relatable to listeners. The narrative builds around the push-and-pull between trying to move on and being drawn back to an old love, demonstrating how the heart can contradict the mind. The song's repetitive refrain emphasizes the overriding feeling of being held captive by love, which is a theme common to many pop songs.
