Coming Back To You
Melinda Doolittle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been here before
I'll be back for more
Maybe this time I can stay
Forever more

Wonder what the future brings
Fortune tellers and time machines
I predict what they'll predict for me
That I keep coming back to you

Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you

One day they'll get it right
I will live and I will die
A million times as long as you are mine
I keep coming back to you

Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you

Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you

Go back and go ahead, over again I'll meet you, baby
Tomorrows, yesterday's impossible to leave you, baby
Any way and every day I'll take you baby
They call it déjà vu but I'm, I'm just in love with you

They call it déjà vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you
They call it déjà vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you
They call it déjà vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you
They call it déjà vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you

Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you

Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you
Coming back to you

Coming back to you




Coming back to you, yeah
I keep coming back to you
