Come Back To Me
Vanessa Anne Hudgens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y'all need to get ready to hear
The unbelievable, indescribable
Vanessa Hudgens
Baby V

Everyday I try to play another game
But my heart can't take it
I try to find another boy
But all the while I can't face it

Why do I miss you so much?
I wanna stop to turn inside
Oh baby please
Give us one more try

I see you out with all your friends
Laughing it up as you pretend
To have a good time
I know 'cause I'm living the same life

So I'm about to got to say
We can't keep living this same way
So I'll be the one
Yeah I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it again

Baby come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be
Together so whatever it takes

Baby come back to me
I should've never set you free
Love baby
Come back

I wanna call, but then I stall
'Cause after all, I just couldn't take it
'Cause if your play was to push me away
You know that day, my heart you'd break it

I know we made a mistake
Can't you stop your foolish pride
And come back to me?
Let's try, let's try, let's try, let's try it again

Baby come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be
Together so whatever it takes

Baby come back to me
I should've never set you free
Love baby
Come back

You know you miss your Baby V
And I can see that you think about me
So why do you act like you don't care
Like all this love between us isn't there

I know that you're upset
I know I did you wrong
I know that you want me to pay for all the pain I've caused
But in the end it all comes down to just one thing
It's you and me
So I sing

Baby come back to me
In my heart I still believe
We were meant to be
Together so whatever it takes

Baby come back to me
I should've never set you free




Love baby
Come back
