I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
Meat Loaf Lyrics

From the minute I turned and laid my eyes on you, I had no eyes of my own
Upon first seeing you, I was enamoured and blinded by your allure.

But you were something to see, so very young and alone
You were a sight to behold, but also vulnerable and alone.

And I still don't believe the way you turned on me
I am still in disbelief at the way you betrayed and hurt me.

Now where's the girl that I knew?
I don't recognize who you have become compared to the person I fell in love with.

You gave me nothing at all, now let me give it to you
You didn't bring anything positive to our relationship, so now it's my turn to give you nothing in return.

You taught me how to be cruel, now let me try it on you
Your actions and behavior taught me how to be cruel, and now I will enact that same behavior towards you.

How do you abuse me, let me count the ways
I want to list and quantify all the ways you have abused me emotionally and mentally.

How many hours in how many days
I have been subjected to your abuse for an extended period of time.

How does it amuse you, let me count the pain
I want to understand how causing me pain and suffering brings you pleasure or satisfaction.

How many rules breaking how many games
You have continuously broken the rules of our relationship and played games with me.

You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack
You have let yourself go and become a mess, physically and emotionally.

Go on and take all your stuff, don't even bother to pack
You are not worth the effort of packing up your things, just take them and go.

In every way I want you out of my life
I want you gone and out of my life in every way possible.

But I'll kill you if you don't come back
Despite wanting you out of my life, I cannot cope with the idea of losing you completely and will go to great lengths to keep you in my life.

In the pit of the night you used to pull me so close
You used to show affection towards me at night and draw me close to you.

And then you'd hold me so tight
You would hold me tightly, giving me a sense of comfort and security.

And in the wink of an eye you used to give me it all
You used to give me everything I needed and desired in an instant.

And with a kiss in the darkness you'd deliver the light
A kiss from you used to brighten up my darkest moments.

And in the pit of the night I hear you laughing so loud
Now, at night, all I can hear is your laughter, which is mocking and taunting.

I know you're laughing at me
Your laughter is directed at me, and it is hurtful and demeaning.

Oh ain't it funny and sad the way I fell for your lies
It is ironic and tragic how I was so easily deceived by your lies and charms.

The way I fell into love and then I begged to be free
I fell deeply in love with you, but now I just want to be free from the pain and suffering you have caused me.

Bless all the girls in the sand on the beach
I am wishing well for all the other girls in the world, who may be enjoying their lives on the beach.

They're dreamin' of boys and staying just out of reach
The girls on the beach are likely fantasizing about boys they desire, but keeping their distance for various reasons.

Bless all the cheerleaders down on the track
I am extending my blessings to cheerleaders who are practicing on the track.

They're glistening like diamonds with sweat on their backs
The cheerleaders are working hard and are covered in sweat, but still shining brightly like diamonds.

Bless all the girls in the gangs on the street
I am wishing well for the girls involved in dangerous street gangs or activities.

They're looking for danger and they're holding their piece
These girls are actively seeking dangerous situations, and are often armed with weapons or other means of protection.

Bless all the girls staying late after school
I am sending positive energy to girls who are staying late after school for various reasons.

They're playing with fire and oh they're playing it cool
The girls staying late at school are likely taking risks and pushing boundaries, while still remaining calm and collected.

And bless all the shy girls who're learning to dance
I extend blessings to shy girls who may be working to improve themselves or stepping out of their comfort zones.

They stare in the mirror and they conjure romance
These girls may be daydreaming about romantic scenarios and working on building up their self-confidence.

Bless all the girls who are always alone
I am wishing well for the girls who may often feel isolated or unloved.

They kneel down in prayer and they wait up by the phone
These girls may be deep in prayer, seeking guidance or comfort, and waiting by the phone a loved one to call.

But damn you and curse you after all that you've done
Despite my previous blessings towards other girls, I cannot forgive or forget what you have done to me.

You're the one girl I'll never forget
Even though I wish I could forget you, you have left a permanent mark on my life.

But damn me and curse me for still needing you
I am angry at myself for still needing you and not being able to let go completely.

And I'll kill you if you don't come back
I am so desperate for your love and affection that I will resort to extreme measures, including threatening violence, to keep you in my life.
