Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come back my love, oh come back to stay
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
Well, you said goodbye, I wondered why
All because of those silly lies
I love you so, well I want you to know
Well, everybody makes
Mistakes in the game of romance
I'm asking you darling
Why don't you come back and give me a chance
Come back my love, don't stay away
I need your loving every day
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
Well, everybody makes
Ooh, mistakes in the game of romance
Now, I'm asking you darling
Why don't you come back and give me a chance
Come back my love, don't stay away
I need your loving every day
I love you so, well I want you to know

I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
'Cause I need your love so badly

I love this more than any other song from the early doo-wop period. This is smoother and more soulful than the brassier competing version by the Cardinals.
Wrennissima! Doo-wop grandeur.

I formed a Doowop group in 2013 in 2017 we recorded 7 songs a cover of the Crows Gee and 6 of our own I wrote and recorded a song with the group called “No one else will do” and this was the inspiration. Absolutely love this classic and I love our separate inspired yet to be classic by The 3 Tones one of ours out of six original doowops we wrote and recorded them released in 2019 . And one more A and B side single to come my lovely Woppers 🥃👌🏽
