Come See About Me
Maurette Brown Clark 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 you baby
(Come see about me)
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
(Come see about me)
Sometime's up (ooh, ooh)
Sometime's down (ooh, ooh)
My life's so uncertain (ooh, ooh)
With you not around (ooh, ooh)
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
(Come see about me)
The lyrics of Maurette Brown Clark's "Come See About Me" is about a woman who is heartbroken and feeling alone because her lover has left her. The opening line, "I've been crying 'cause I'm lonely," makes it clear that she misses her lover and needs him to come back. The following lines show her sadness, and how her life has become empty and meaningless without him. Although she has given up everything, including her friends, for him, he has still left her. She is still in love with him, and this is the reason why she doesn't want anyone else.
The chorus of the song emphasizes her desperation as she implores him to hurry and come back to her. When she sings "come see about me," she is asking him to come back into her life and into her heart. In the second verse, she acknowledges that sometimes her life is up, and sometimes it's down, but without him, it's always uncertain. She still has hope that he will come back and be willing to pick up where they left off. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus as she pleads for him to come back.
The lyrics of "Come See About Me" is a classic tale of heartbreak and longing, and it is relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and rejection. The song is full of emotions, and Brown Clark's soulful voice only adds to the depth of their meaning. The lyrics are accompanied by a beautiful melody that perfectly captures the emotions of the singer.
