Come
Sophie Monk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone again
Alone, my friend
I dance the night away
Without you here
Without you near
I cry, but shed
no tears

I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
and I know you feel it, too

Come my way
Calling out, can you hear me?
Come back to me
'Cause it's you I believe in
I will love you
I will love you
I call out
and I know you can hear me
So come my way

I close my eyes
I fall through time
I dance the night away
I know that I've
Been paid in kind
It's just a state of mind

I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
And I know you feel it, too

Come my way
Calling out, can you hear me?
Come back to me
'Cause it's you I believe in
I will love you
I will love you
I call out
and I know you can hear me
So come my way

Oooh
Ooooh-oh
I'm calling out
Can you hear me,now?

I get, I get, I get, get the feeling
I get, I get, I get, get the dreaming
And I know you feel it, too

Oooooh-oh-oh-ohhhhhh

"come" is my absolute FAVORITE Inuyasha ending song ever since I was a little kid. I know the english lyrics, the japanese lyrics, and I can sing it (albeit not well at ALL XD) without the song playing. I never knew it was a cover for this girl's song, I thought maybe SOPHIE had done a cover since Inuyasha is so old, but I was wrong, and this girl deserves SO MUCH RESPECT for inspiring Namie :D Not to mention this song is so good no matter who sings it or what language it's in :D

@docd1o1

11y↑23

You need to know this is the original but was re-worked and re-written into Japanese for Inuyasha and Namie Amuro.

@TriereGorum

9y↑101

Ok, seriously? This is the original version. This one came out first. Namie Amuro's version is the cover song. Let's not get confused.

@TriereGorum

9y↑15

xamarria mock The Japanese version was not first. The song "Come My Way" was COVERED by Japanese pop star Namie Amuro (her version was titled "Come") in Japanese. It was released first as a single on 14 October 2003 and on the album Style on 10 December of the same year. "Come" is actually a COVER of Australian pop singer, Sophie Monk's "Come My Way and was used as an ending theme to the anime series InuYasha.

@TriereGorum

9y↑12

xamarria mock Yes, Wikipedia is saying the Japanese version is the cover. It's where I got the information above from. It clearly says on both Sophia and Namie's Wikipedia pages, that Namie's/japanese version is the cover. Sophie's album with her single "Come My Way" came out in March 2003 and was a single before the album came out. Namie's cover version, "Come" became a single and came out in October 2003 while her album came out in December. That's eight months later AFTER Sophie. That means the Japanese version was not first and was a cover of Sophie's"Come My Way", the ORIGINAL/FIRST version. Again, it says it right on Namie's "So Crazy/Come" page: "Come" is actually a cover of Australian pop singer, Sophie Monk's "Come My Way" and on Sophie's "Calendar Girl" album page it says: The song "Come My Way" was COVERED by Japanese pop star Namie Amuro (her version was titled "Come") in Japanese. The Japanese version is just more popular. There's a difference.

Love this. Could've and should have been a big hit for her. It is very Kylie minogue reminiscent as well.

@sarahl9398

4y↑7

I didn't know Sophie Monk had a singing career, much less that one of my favorite teenagehood anime/jpop songs was a cover of this! Amuro's version is epic, but this is nice too.

@takigan

14y↑10

Like many, I heard Namie Amuro's cover of this first and sadly I still prefer that one. However, this one is also really cool. I love the strings and piano and heavier backup vocals and the beat is just as killer. I can't seem to make myself like Sophie's voice though. That said, I just find the Trance-style motives of Namie's version to be more appealing.....not to mention she uses Auto-tune on her version, which always sounds cool, haha.

@iprobablyforgotsomething

6y↑23

While it's nice to know the English lyrics, I still find the Japanese version used for Inuyasha to be better. That has better background music. I don't think this song is as well-served by the faster, more pop-y, synth-heavy music. But it's nice to know where the song came from; I'd never heard of Sophie before.

@Ninetails2000

7y↑29

I'm not sure which one I like better. This one has better energy and more complex instrumentation that sounds really nice, but Namie's more relaxed tone conveys the message better and the Japanese lyrics make for a better melody due to filling more space and flowing more smoothly.

I suppose like both equally and appreciate the contrast.

I still think this version is pretty decent. But . . . yea Namie Amuro took it to another level.

@themagicalfox6

11y↑2

I love both Sophie's and Namie's versions! if Sophie didn't sing this then Namie wouldn't have covered it in the first place! I love J-pop and all but I enjoy other foreign music just as much

Let me save you the time and trouble of reading through the comments by summing up everything.
In short, the comments can be divided into two camps:
Camp one - passively insults the song by saying "it's okay but the inuyasha version is better"
Camp two - defends the song by pointing out that it was the original version and people are low key ungrateful.

@ShyBoy6ty9

4y↑4

I wouldn't call them passive insults. It really is good. It's just not the song we heard at 5 in the morning after Inuyasha when we were 12 years old.

@msthetombgirl

i like both versions (but i found out about namie's version before this.)

@omnisempi81

this is the og verison but namie version is the one that hit the usa big due to anime and timing

@JoyeuseXI

12y↑32

You don't have to be a weaboo to think Namie's version is better... This one is nice, I will admit, but I much prefer the instrumentals of Namie's. Could care less if it were Japanese tbqh.

@SuperLuigiSixty4

7y↑1

I prefer the background to the Japanese cover, but this is dope.

@WantsToWatchAnime

it was originally sophies song that was re-arranged for namie for inyuyasha i guess because we are use to namies version this one sounds weird maybe its not BUT I LOVE NAMIE

This is not a Dub... It's the original lol

@LovelyLullabyx

@demondton96 Just FYI, she's Australian, and this actually came before Namie Amuro's version, so THAT would be the remix.

For all of Amuro's cover songs amuro.fr/v5/datas/covers-original-versions-demos/, love both versions!

@DoctorRainbow8321 Well you know what Namie's version would've never existed if Sophie Monk hadn't sung it first.

@HyosukeMagumo

13y

Oi oi. You guys. If you load Namie's version and wait like :09 - :11 then load the original, they mash pretty epicly together! :'D I've been doin' that since I found out this was the original!

@marieconte9375

i like her she´s beauty

@Eyedunno

Just learning now that the Namie Amuro song is a cover, and I'm kinda shocked. Looking at the comments, I suppose I'm not alone.

@GreyFoxRamen

This is actually the original version, if you can believe that. Amuro Namie based her own off of this.

@PopeHannibal

Meh, after listening to the Namie Amuro version this version is like stale Bubblegum in my mouth, once delicious but now hard and flavorless.

@Nevesdeath

16y

Of course without this version, Namie's Version would not exist, since it is a cover of Sophie Monk's.

@HyosukeMagumo

12y

@CereCere Thank you. xD I hate when people argue about shit like this. -_-; Namie's version would not have existed if Sophie's did not exist first. Forget about which is better, they BOTH exist and they are both awesome.

This version is better hands down. However, the Namie Amuro cover is just as good. I prefer this one cause it sound like Joey Negro made it, and he is epic.

Better hands down vs just as good = a fallacy lol

@NormalWinterFox

14y

@meru61 ah-hum...well it so happens this is the original version this version came out before the one sang by Namie Amuro therefore the japanese it's a remade version but yeah i can agree with you that her version it's relaxing and smooth than this one even though this is the original

@paytonnewman1968

To be completely honest, the Japanese version, in my opinion, is better than the English version. I'm just saying this because I first heard it when it was in Japanese. I guess it depends on the genres and artists singing the song.

@LovelyLullabyx

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I actually like both versions...
