Come See About Me
Knight Gladys 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 lyrics of the song "Come See About Me" by Knight Gladys talks about a woman who is feeling lonely and crying due to the absence of her lover. She is lost and is unable to find peace in her life since her lover left her. The tears that she sheds are not enough to wash away the fears and worries that are engulfing her. She desires for her lover to come back and ease the pain that she is experiencing.
The woman has given up her friends for her lover. However, even after sacrificing her friendships, her love is still not yet returned. Her heart is still longing for him, and she continues to cry and sigh for him. Regardless of what he does or says, she loves him unconditionally. Even though he is out of reach, she believes that he is still present in her heart, and she wants him to see about her. She is urging him to come back and take care of her, to ease her loneliness and bring back the happiness she once had in her life.

I've been crying
I have been shedding tears
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
I am feeling lonely because you are not with me
Smiles have all turned to tears
I used to smile, but now I am sad and crying
But tears won't wash away the fears
Crying does not make me less worried or scared
That you're never ever gonna return
I am afraid that you will never come back to me
To ease the fire that within me burns
I feel like there is a burning pain inside of me that only you can soothe
Keeps me crying baby for you
I cannot stop crying for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
I cannot stop sighing for you
So won't you hurry
Please come back to me as soon as possible
Come on boy, see about me

(Come see about me)
Reaffirming the request to see about me
See about your baby
Come and take care of me
I've given up my friends just for you
I have stopped seeing my friends because I want to be with you
My friends are gone
I have lost touch with my friends
And you have too
You are no longer with me either
No peace shall I find
I cannot find inner peace without you
Until you come back
I need you to return to me
And be mine
I want you to be my partner
No matter what you do or say
I will always love you regardless of your actions or words
I'm gonna love you anyway
I will continue to love you
Sometime's up
Sometimes I feel happy
Sometime's down
Other times, I feel sad
My life's so uncertain
My life is unpredictable and unsteady without you
With you not around
I miss you and I am sad when you are not with me
From my arms you maybe out of reach
You may not be physically close to me right now
But my heart says you're here to keep
But I believe that you will always remain in my heart
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
I cannot stop crying for you
You know I'm so lonely
I am incredibly lonely without you
I love you only
You are the only one I love
Hurry, hurry
Please come back to me quickly
