Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night I would call, your number brought me joy
I called your house, every night since then
But I ain't never, no no never heard you calling me
Come on and call me back again
Come on call me back again
I've heard your name every night since then
But I ain't never, no no never
Come on and call me back again
Yeah all me back again
Well when I, when I was
Just a little baby boy
Every night, every night I would call
Because your number brought me joy
Oh I've called your name every night since then
But I ain't never, no, no, no, no, never heard you calling me
Come on and call me back again
Come on and call me back again
Come on and (call me back again)
Come on and call me
Ooh boo boo boo babe
Call me back again, ooh (call me back again)
(Call me back again)
Now won't you call me?
Call me back again
I ain't never heard you
So why don't you call me back again?
The song Call Me Back Again by Paul McCartney & Wings is a heartfelt plea from the singer to someone he yearns for. The lyrics describe the singer as a young boy who used to call the person's number every night because it brought him joy. However, despite hearing their name every night since then, he has never heard them calling him. The song is a request for the person to contact him and make a connection.
The lyrics are simple but powerful, evoking a sense of longing and loneliness. The repetition of "call me back again" emphasizes the singer's desire for connection and the pain he feels from being ignored. The use of the phrase "just a little baby boy" adds a touch of vulnerability to the song and makes the singer's plea even more poignant.
Overall, Paul McCartney & Wings have created a beautiful and emotional song that captures the universal need for human connection.
