Come Back To Me
Tank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Come Come Come Back To Me
Was All I Could Say
The Day That I Lost My Baby
Don't Know Why She Wanna Leave
When She Knows I Will Do Anything For My Baby
Now Why You Wanna Do A Playa Like That
You Like Him Now But You Gon' Be Runnin Back
And I'll Be Waitin' For You Baby That's A Fact
Baby Do You Hear Me, Baby Do You Feel Me Yeah

[Chorus:]
I Told Her She Was Better Than That
And I Would Treat Her Better Than That
And All She Gotta Do Is Come Back (Come Back To Me)
Come Back To Me [x4]

Come Come Come Come Back To Me
Was All I Could Say
The Day She Jumped Outta My Mercedes
Don't Know Why She Wanna Leave
The Fact She Did This On Love Just Drives Me Crazy
Now Why You Wanna Do A Playa Like That
You Like Him Now But You Gon' Be Runnin Back
And I'll Be Waitin' For You Baby That's A Fact
Baby Do You Hear Me, Baby Do You Feel Me Yeah

[Chorus]

I Remember When
[Begin Rap]
You Told Me You Would Never Ever Ever Leave My Side
Now Lately All I Do Is Picture You Just Hoppin' Out My Ride
Now You Got A Friend
But He Won't Do The Things I Used To Do
The Things He Do
Won't Do For You
Tell Me Baby What You Goin' Through

I Got That Go Back
I Got That Get Back
I Got That Won't Back Kinda Love





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Tank's song "Come Back To Me," the lyrics express the singer's longing for his lost love. The chorus repeats the plea for her return, stating that he knows he can treat her better than whoever she may be with now. He expresses his confusion as to why she would want to leave him when he would do anything for her. The repetition of the line "Now why you wanna do a play like that" shows his frustration at her decision to leave him, but he promises to wait for her even as he acknowledges that she may come to regret leaving.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of betrayal as Tank sings about the fact that his lover left him. He tries to understand why she broke his heart with the line "The fact she did this on love just drives me crazy." The rap section in the middle builds on the theme of betrayal by expressing the anger and hurt the singer feels. The repeated "I got that" lines show his determination to hold onto the love he had for her and to win her back.


Overall, "Come Back To Me" is a heartbreakingly beautiful song about the complexity of relationships and the desire to fix them even when things seem broken beyond repair.
