Baby Come Back
Shorty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you could be honest
Without having a feud
Are you thinking of me?
'Cause I'm thinking of you

If there's something more than
You wanted to say
Let us remember
The give and the take

The winning (the winning)
The losing (the losing)
The loving (the loving)
The bruising (the bruising)

The good times (the good times)
The struggles (the struggles)
It's a thin line (it's a thin line)
To travel

Since you've been away (I've been hurting)
Since you've been away (come back, baby)
Since you've been away (I've been hurting)
Since you've been away (come back and stay)

Love, what's love mean to you? (loving, loving, hey)
We all make mistakes (crying, crying, stop)
Don't throw it away (trying, trying, fade)
It's never too late (oh, oh, oh)

The winning (the winning)
The losing (oh, oh, oh, the losing)
The loving (the loving)
The bruising (oh, oh, oh, the bruising)

The good times (the good times)
The struggles (oh, oh, oh, the struggles)
It's a thin line (it's a thin line)
To travel

Since you've been away (I've been hurting)
Since you've been away (come back, baby)
Since you've been away (I've been hurting)
Since you've been away (come back and stay)
Come back and stay (oh, oh, oh)
Come back and stay
Oh, oh, oh





Oh, oh, oh
