Come As You Were
T Graham Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I giving a party tonight
With Champaign and pink party lights
I hope you'll attend if you're free
Come as you were before you stopped loving me

The party is BYOM
So bring your old love you once felt
Don't bother to RSVP no
Just come as you were before you stopped loving me

If you're sorry that you've hurt me and you've seen the light
Do me a party favor girl and love me tonight

My party could be so much fun
If only you'd just say you'd come
If here's where you want to be
Just come as you were before you stopped loving me

If here's where you want to be





Just come as you were before you stopped loving me
Come as you were before you stopped loving me

My wife asked - "At 00:07 what's that 'note'?" - Well, honey it's the #5 of the dominant V CHORD - C7#5 - - - (It's the NOTE G# or Ab, depending on your point of view!)...! Soooo nice, AND bluesy! I'm always on the lookout for 'chords' that sound bluesy, this is an excellent example!
