Back For Good
Take That (Karaoke) 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
The song "Back For Good" by Take That is a ballad about a man who wants to reconcile with his lover. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer has come to the realization that it is time to give up and move on from the relationship. He has a picture of his lover and her lipstick mark still on her coffee cup, but he also has a "fist of pure emotion" and a "head of shattered dreams." Despite this, he knows he needs to leave it all behind and move on, but hopes that his lover will return to him.
The chorus is a pleading refrain, where he sings "Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it, I just want you back for good." He promises to do better and is willing to sing any song his lover wants. He wants to be right and understood, and ultimately wants her back for good.
The second verse touches on the hope the singer had for their relationship, but he later realized it wasn't meant to be. The twist of separation caused his lover to excel at being free, but he asks her to find a little room inside for him. The third chorus is repeated with more conviction, as he hopes that they will be together forever.
