Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The snow's coming down
(Christmas)
I'm watching it fall
(Christmas)
Lots of people around
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
All ringing in song
(Christmas)
Full of a happy sound
(Christmas)
Oh baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
Yeah I'm watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(Christmas)
Baby please come home
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
(Christmas)
If there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back this tear
(Christmas)
But it's Christmas day
Please, please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Please, baby, please come home
Please come home
Baby, please come home
Baby, please come home
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please come home
Baby, please come home
Please come home
Yeah
"Please Please" by Robbie Williams is a heartfelt ballad that emphasizes the importance of spending Christmas with someone special. The song speaks about the singer's anguish over being alone on Christmas and desperately wanting his lover to return to him. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and loneliness that is all too familiar to those who have experienced the holidays without their loved ones.
The song begins with the snow falling and the singer watching it fall, surrounded by lots of people, but feeling empty and incomplete without his lover. The church bells ringing in the background symbolize the joyous occasion of Christmas, but the singer clashes with a stark contrast to the happy sounds around him, longing for his partner's return. The song masterfully weaves the happiness of Christmas with the loneliness of being away from a loved one.
The song's chorus "Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, Please come home," is a desperate plea from the singer to his lover, begging them to return and be with him. It's a Christmas song not of joy and happiness, but of longing and heartache.
