Come Back
Usher feat. Jermaine Dupri Lyrics

What y'all wanna do? (Ooh)
Asking the listener what they want to do

What all wanna do? (Tell me, tell me)
Reiterating the question from the first line

See, around here, we're just too much
Boasting about how impressive their location is

We could slow down and you still couldn't catch us
Explaining that they are always on the go and difficult to keep up with

My town full of heavy-hitters, bread-getters (what?)
Describing the people in their town as successful and wealthy

Real fly, unforgettable-type
Bringing attention to their cool and memorable character

See, all I do is keep hitting them up
Telling the listener that they are constantly working and interacting with others

Getting them up, shaking your butt, what?
Encouraging others to get excited and dance

Lil Liberaci, can't nobody stop me
Comparing themselves to a famous musician and expressing their confidence

Always making moves, so you better watch me
Letting the listener know that they're always moving and making things happen

Slide to the Southside in my blue drop top, 355
Describing their fancy car and where they are driving to

Keeping it live
Expressing their commitment to keeping things exciting and interesting

When you wanna make 'em jump (jump), you know what to do
Encouraging the listener to do something to get others excited

Call me and my crew to the rescue (duh-dun-di-dun)
Telling the listener to call on them for help or fun

Captain So So Def
Introducing themselves as the leader of So So Def Recordings

We rocks the party 'til there's no one left (fo' sho)
Claiming that they are the best at partying and that everyone will stay until the end

Turn your volume up a notch
Asking the listener to turn up the music

And watch the ba-bomb, bump-bump-bump make your speakers pop
Explaining that the music is so good it can make the singers pop

You never missed your water 'til your well runs dry
Saying that people often don't appreciate what they have until it's gone

I never missed my woman 'til she said goodbye
Personalizing the previous line by admitting that he didn't appreciate his partner until she left him

Now my heart's made a change
Admitting that he's changed his mindset

My whole world's rearrange
Acknowledging that his world has changed as well

And I'm ready to give you what you deserved
Saying that he now understands what his partner deserved and is willing to give them that

Baby, baby, baby, please
Pleading with his partner to come back

Come back (come on, come on)
Again, asking his partner to come back

Lover, this is where you belong
Telling his partner that they belong with him

In my arms, in my world (as my girl)
Describing how he wants his partner to be with him

Come back (come on, come on)
Asking once again for his partner to come back

Come back (come back)
Repeating the request

Lover, this is where you belong (come on, come on)
Reiterating that his partner belongs with him

In my life, as my girl (come on, get it, get it)
Repeating how he wants his partner to be a part of his life

The grass is greener on the other side
Saying that people often think things are better elsewhere

We take people for granted 'til they're out of sight
Acknowledging that it's common to not appreciate someone until they're gone

I don't think that you know how much I'm going through
Expressing his struggles and pain to his partner

I don't think that you know how much I really love you
Saying that his partner may not understand how much he truly loves them

All I do (all I do), is think of you
Suggesting that he's constantly thinking of his partner

I can't eat, can't sleep
Admitting that he's struggling to function

Baby, it ain't hard to see, all I do
Saying that his strong feelings for his partner are obvious

And your bump, diggy bump, bump, bump
Referring to his partner's dancing and how it excites him

Diggy, diggy, bump, bump, baby
Adding emphasis on the previous line

Come back (come back)
Repeating his request yet again

Come back
Reiterating the same request

Lover, this is where you belong (come on, come on, come on)
Stating that his partner belongs with him

In my arms, in my world (into my world, girl)
Describing how he wants his partner to be with him

Come back (come back)
Repeating the request again

Come back (baby, baby, baby)
Adding emotion and pleading to his request

Lover, this is where you belong (ohh)
Saying once again that his partner belongs with him

In my life, as my girl (can somebody help me sing this?)
Asking for help in expressing his feelings

Come back, come back (it's not what you want, baby)
Pleading again for his partner to come back

Lover, this is where you belong (but what you need, sugar, come back with me)
Telling his partner that they need to come back to him

In my arms, in my world (satisfaction guaranteed, baby)
Reassuring his partner that they will be happy with him

Come back, come back (it's not what you want, baby)
Repeating his plea for his partner to come back

Lover, this is where you belong (but what you need, sugar, come back with me)
Stating once again that his partner belongs with him

In my life, as my girl (satisfaction guaranteed, baby)
Ensuring that his partner's happiness is guaranteed if they return to him
