Back to You
Mollie King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Why do I keep coming back to you?)

Don't wanna be with nobody
Just wanna make it with you
Caught up in all of my feelings
Baby, why don't you feel like I do?

And I wonder what you're thinking right now
No, I never can tell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself

Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?

We're staring up at the ceiling
Why do we do what we do?
When you put your body on me
You know I keep on falling for you

And I wonder what you're thinking right now
'Cause I'm going through hell
And I wonder why we're doing this now
I keep asking myself

Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)

And I know that you know what we do this over and over
But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too
Why you, why you?

Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you?
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)
Why do I keep coming back to you? (don't wanna feel this way)

And I know that you know what we do this over and over




But it's always been you that I'm running to over and over
Back to us too

This song doesn't have NEARLY enough love that it should.

@MozartHerbert

She was my favorite member from The Saturdays but I never expected a classy solo debut like this, so proud <3
I hope UK fans help her have a good chart run.

@BrandonWilki

Ok. What a song... But WHAT A VIDEO. Especially for a debut. I am fully behind Mollie King's solo career. GET IT GIRL.

@BrandonWilki

That ending was epic.
