Go Back
Peter Andre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd be on TV
Talking 'bout me and you (girl)
Though I've seen it times before
Same episode but a different show
So why are we here too?
Was it something I did or did not do to make you mad?
Didn't I go out my way to supply everything you asked?
I'm confused, so tell me how we messed up?
Didn't we give up too soon?

You can put it on me if you like
I'm just trying to make it right, baby

I just wanna start back loving you the way I did before
Tell me can we go back if this love is real what we waiting for?

Ok let me get this straight, you say we never communicate
We're always at each other; we forgot how to love each other
And when's the last time we both went out together?
It used to be all the time, and now it seems like never
Well girl I'm listening and I'ma change your mind
If you give me this chance I'll do it right this time

I'm only human babe, we all make mistakes
I swear I've learnt my lesson
I hope it's not too late

You can put it on me if you like
I'm just trying to make it right, baby

I just wanna start back loving you the way I did before
Tell me can we go back if this love is real what we waiting for?

I know it may not seem like the best thing
But I feel I might be losing the best thing
All that we fought for, we worked so hard for
Don't you remember? Hold on

I just wanna start back loving you the way I did before
Tell me can we go back if this love is real what we waiting for?




I just wanna start back loving you the way I did before
Tell me can we go back if this love is real what we waiting for?

@chloer454 I went to his signing in Birmingham and waited from 12pm until 6pm, he was due at 5pm but traffic from London was really bad so he took an hour longer than planned, but it was well worth the wait.
