Go Back
Jeanette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm waking up - and you are there
Times are over when you had me out of breath
I think of you and have to say
Every night - my god - you're boring me to death

Oh baby, I am in for something new
Oh baby, sex with you just didn't do
Oh baby - don't believe that I was true again, again and again

Go back to your mum
Get out of my life
I won't miss you babe, that's all I know
Go back to your mum
Get out of my sight
You were once my love, but it's really long ago

I can't believe - it took so long
All the time you were just longin´ for your home
And then I hope - you understand
Also there you'll have to do it all alone

Oh baby - just sit down and watch TV
Oh baby - you're not men enough for me
Oh baby - I was just to blind to see
Again, again and again

Go back to your mum
Get out of my life
I won't miss you babe, that's all I know
Go back to your mum
Get out of my sight
You were once my love, but it's really long ago
Go back to your mum
Get out of my life
You were once my love, but it's really long ago

Oh baby, I am in for something new
Oh baby, sex with you just didn't do
Oh baby - don't believe that I was true again, again and again

Go back to your mum
Get out of my life
I won't miss you babe, that's all I know
Go back to your mum




Get out of my sight
You were once my love, but it's really long ago y

This person is reflecting on their feelings toward their partner who they find unfulfilling and not worth staying with. They disillusioned themselves from the idea of their partner and are accepting that they have become disinterested. Jeanette is urging her lover to leave her and go back to their mother or family, represent the idea that the relationship has come to a decline.


The lyrics utilize metaphors in order to communicate the singer's feelings. The line "Every night - my god - you're boring me to death" is not necessarily meant to be taken literally, but is instead an exaggerated way of expressing their disinterest. This is also true of the subsequent lines, which describe the singer's desire for something new and their belief that the other person is not "man enough" for them. While these phrases may seem harsh, they are a way for the singer to assert themselves and their feelings.


Overall, "Go Back" is a song that speaks to the idea of stagnation within a relationship. It shows the growth of a narrator who realizes that they are no longer content, and are ready to move on from their partner. The metaphors utilized in the song add a level of depth and emotion to the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm waking up - and you are there
I'm starting to realize that you're always around me.


Times are over when you had me out of breath
The days when you made me feel breathless are long gone.


I think of you and have to say
Whenever you cross my mind, I can't help but say...


Every night - my god - you're boring me to death
Every night, I'm reminded of how dull you are and it's killing me.


Oh baby, I am in for something new
I'm ready for a change, a new adventure.


Oh baby, sex with you just didn't do
Having sex with you didn't satisfy me emotionally and mentally.


Oh baby - don't believe that I was true again, again and again
Please don't think I was loyal to you, because I wasn't and I never will be.


Go back to your mum
Get out of my life and go back to where you came from.


Get out of my life
I want nothing to do with you anymore.


I won't miss you babe, that's all I know
I'm sure I won't miss you at all, that much I know for sure.


You were once my love, but it's really long ago
You used to be my lover, but that was a really long time ago.


I can't believe - it took so long
I can't believe it took me this long to realize...


All the time you were just longin´ for your home
All this time, you've been homesick and just wanted to go back.


And then I hope - you understand
I hope you finally get it.


Also there you'll have to do it all alone
You'll have to deal with everything alone, even back home.


Oh baby - just sit down and watch TV
You're far too boring for me, just sit and watch TV.


Oh baby - you're not men enough for me
You don't have the qualities that I'm looking for in a man.


Oh baby - I was just to blind to see
I admit it, I was blind and didn't see things clearly before.
