Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hold me near
Lover please, come back to me
Your voice I long to hear
You told me you loved me
Why'd you tell me lies?
Coz' if you loved me
You wouldn't need that disguise
Lover please, come back to me
Don't make me cry
Lover please, come back to me
Don't say goodbye
You know that I'm sorry
I made you blue
There will never be another
Boy for me like you
It's been a long long time since you been at home
Since you left me
I've been so alone
Lover please, come back to me
Don't make me cry
Lover please, come back to me
Don't say goodbye
You know that I'm sorry
I made you blue
There will never be another
Boy for me like you
Come back, come back to me (please come back)
Come on back, come back to me (please come back)
Come on back, come back to me (please come back)
Come on back now, come back to me (please come back)
The Belles' song "Come Back" is a classic love ballad about a desperate plea for a lost lover to return. The song begins with the singer begging her lover to come back to her and hold her close. The lyrics are filled with pain and longing, as the singer's heart aches for the sound of her lover's voice.
The next stanza reveals that the lover had told the singer he loved her, but it turns out to be a lie because his behavior shows that he doesn't truly love her. The singer is referring to the lover’s use of a disguise that is preventing him from being his true self around her. If he truly loved her, he would not need to hide anything from her.
The last stanza highlights the length of time that the lover has been away from home, causing the singer to despair even more. She begs and pleads for him to come back to her and not leave her alone in misery. The song ends with the singer making one last heartfelt plea for her lover to come back to her.
Overall, "Come Back" is a song that touches upon the emotions many have experienced after the breakup of a relationship. The song's combination of a slow tempo and sorrowful lyrics produces a powerful ballad that is both haunting and memorable.
