Back For Good
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Oh yeah
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did
I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
Whenever I'm wrong
Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
I want you back for good
Unaware but underlined
I figured out this story (no no)
It wasn't good (no no)
But in a corner of my mind (corner of my mind)
I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation
You excelled at being free
Can't you find (can't you find) a little room inside for me
Whatever I said, whatever I did
I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good) See, I want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong
Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
I want you back for good
And we'll be together
This time is forever (forever)
We'll be fighting, and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
Whatever I said, whatever I did
I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
Whenever I'm wrong
Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
See, I want you back for good
Whatever I said, whatever I did
I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good) I want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong (whenever I'm wrong)
Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood
I want you back (want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
See, I want you back for good
Oh yeah
I guess now it's time that you came back for good
"Back for Good" is a song of reconciliation by Take That, a British band that rose to fame in the late 1980s-early 1990s. The lyrics suggest that a recent separation was mistaken, and that the singer wants his former partner to return permanently. He imagines a future where they will stay together forever, and promises to give up his bad habits, including "fist of pure emotion" and "head of shattered dreams." The song features several memorable lines, including "Just tell me the song and I'll sing it," which reflects the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to win back his lost love.
The song was written by Gary Barlow, a member of Take That who also wrote most of the band's hits. In an interview with The Independent, Barlow said the song was partly inspired by an earlier breakup he had experienced. He said, "When I wrote 'Back for Good,' I wanted to write something that could've been written in the '70s or '80s." The song became a massive hit in the UK, spending four weeks at number one, and also topped the charts in many other countries, including Germany, Norway, and Australia.

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I have come to the realization that it's time to let go and move on
I feel it's time
Deep inside me, I sense that it's the right moment to move on
Got a picture of you beside me
I still hold onto the memories of you and the times we had together
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
The little things you left behind are still a reminder of you and the love we shared
Got a fist of pure emotion
My heart is filled with such strong feelings, it's like a tight, clenched fist
Got a head of shattered dreams
My mind is plagued with unfulfilled hopes and aspirations
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
I need to let go of the past and move forward with my life
Whatever I said, whatever I did
I know I may have said or done things that hurt you
I didn't mean it
But deep in my heart, I never intended to cause you pain
I just want you back for good
All I really want is for you to come back and be a part of my life forever
Whenever I'm wrong
If I make any mistakes or errors, as human beings often do
Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You just need to remind me of the good times we had and I will do anything to make things right
You'll be right and understood
I promise to listen and try to understand your perspective
Unaware but underlined
I was oblivious to the subtle signs indicating that our love was in danger
I figured out this story (no no)
Now I've finally come to understand how this all went wrong
It wasn't good (no no)
Past difficulties and challenges contributed to our separation, but we can overcome them
But in a corner of my mind (corner of my mind)
Despite everything, thoughts of you still linger in my thoughts and heart
I celebrated glory
Once upon a time, we experienced greatness and joy together
But that was not to be
Sadly, we could not maintain that sense of glory, but I still believe it's possible
In the twist of separation
Our separation was unexpected and challenging
You excelled at being free
You have been able to move on and make your life your own since we parted
Can't you find (can't you find) a little room inside for me
I know it's not easy, but I pray that you can find forgiveness in your heart and make a little space for me
And we'll be together
If you give me another chance, we can be together and overcome any obstacle together
This time is forever (forever)
I am committed to this relationship for life and will do everything to make it last
We'll be fighting, and forever we will be
Life presents us with challenges, but as long as we're together, we can overcome anything
So complete in our love
Our love is all-encompassing and satisfying, nothing is missing
We will never be uncovered again
After any hardship, we'll always have each other to rediscover and be whole once more
See, I want you back for good
I'm begging you, please come back to me for good
Oh yeah
Tones of yearning, remorse and longing for a love once present, now faded away.

Today I attended my dear Mum's funeral. She'd battled dementia for the better part of 3 years. Take That (especially Gary Barlow 😆) was her favourite band/singer. Both this and 'Patience' were played at her service today. She would've loved it. My tears are rolling tonight, but my memories will never fade. This will always be "Mum's song" 🥲❤️🎶.
