Come to me
The Limits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about your baby
I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Keep on crying baby for you
I'm gonna keep sighin' baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby
Sometime's up
Sometime's down
My life's so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep
Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I'm so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about your baby (Come see about me)
Hurry, hurry
The Limits' song "Come To Me" is a song about longing and heartache. The lyrics express the singer's deep emotional pain and the inability to move forward without the return of their loved one. The first stanza sets the tone of the song, stating that the singer is crying and lonely because they miss their lover. The smiles that once existed have turned to tears, highlighting the depth of the pain endured in their absence. However, the tears are not enough to wash away the fear that their lover will never come back. This fear stems from the fire that still burns within the singer's heart, which can only be quenched by the return of their lover.
The chorus of the song reinforces the singer's longing for their lover. The use of repetition and alliteration in the phrase "Keeps me crying baby for you" and "Keeps me sighing' baby for you" amplifies the intensity of the emotion expressed in the song. The urgency in the singer's voice is heightened when they plead for their lover to hurry and come back to them. The repetition of the phrase "Come see about me" emphasizes the fact that the singer's life is incomplete without the presence of their lover.
The third stanza of "Come To Me" speaks of the uncertainty and upheaval the singer feels in their life without their lover. The lyrics suggest that the singer has given up everything, including their friends, just to be with their lover. And now that the lover is gone, the singer is left with a sense of emptiness and longing. Despite the fact that their lover may be physically out of reach, the singer's heart remains open to the possibility of reconciliation. The song concludes with the same chorus, which repeats the same message of longing, desperation, and love.

But my heart says you're here to keep
My heart feels comforted knowing that you are always with me in spirit
See about you baby (Come see about me)
Pay attention to me and our relationship
