The Fleets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I nearly died cause you wouldn′t stay
How could you leave me alone
You knew I'd grieve all on my own
Come on baby now
Please return to me
Don′t you know I can't stand this agony
Please return to me
If you ever come back
(If you ever come back)
I'll do things for you
(If you ever come back)
If it is so true
(If you ever come back)
But please return to me
Won′t you think how it used to be
Now I′m on the brink of misery
I treated you good and I gave you my heart
I thought you understood right from the start
Come on baby now
Please return to me
Don't you know I can′t stand this agony
Please return to me
Come on baby
Please return to me
Please return to me
Please return to me
The lyrics of The Fleet's song "Please Return To Me" are that of a heartbroken individual pleading for their significant other to return to them. The song begins with the singer expressing how much they cried when their lover left and how close they were to dying because of their departure. The singer then directly asks their lover how they could leave them all alone, knowing how much it would hurt them. The chorus then comes in with the repeated plea for their lover to return to them because the pain of being without them is too much to bear.
The second verse is an attempt by the singer to reconcile with their lover by telling them that they will do anything for them as long as they return. They then ask again, with desperation in their voice, for their lover to come back to them, as they reminisce about the happy moments they shared together. The final chorus is a repetition of the initial plea, with the singer saying "please return to me" over and over again.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are very straightforward and capture the emotions of heartbreak and longing for a lost loved one. The desperate and repetitive nature of the chorus adds to the sense of loss and despair that the singer is feeling.

I believed that from the beginning you knew how much I loved you
Come on baby now
