Come Back To Me

(album: I Wish - 1995)

"If you don't mind, (if you don't mind)
We'd like to play something (play somethin')"

Gloria, pick up, I know you're there
Stop fronting, just pick up
Aight look, look, I know I messed up
But check it out, just listen

I'm leaving you this message spotly cause I miss you
I didn't mean to diss you but sometimes I slip
You got me stumbling over boulders, looking over my shoulders
Hoping you're behind me but the sun blinds my vision
No competition cause I'm wishing and hoping
That we could go to Canada and elope-ing, but nope-ing
I know you caught me playing with your heart
Shoulda known that I was up to no good from the start
Little hoodrat, who's that guy I saw you walking with
Talking with, acting like he's wit ya
Just like 2Pac you know I get around
But I didn't mean to get around with your little sister
Think I was looking for your friend, so let me try again
To prove myself cause I don't want nobody else
It's been 7 hours and 16 days since you took your love away
So I just want to say that you should

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Oh stacker, cracker, I'm the one who's badder
1 step, 2 step, 3 step, 4
Oh are you sure that you really want to leave me?
I tell you that I love you but I don't think you believe me
I never meant you any wrong, my dear
Besides, yo, you can't believe everything you hear
So just like Stevie, I wonder, is there water all under the bridge
It's thrilling, but lately I've had the strangest feeling, like Jodeci
I'm going through the emotions, so baby won't you just stay, okay?
I'm trying to get you off of my mind but you just won't go away
In fact, just the other day, I was cooling at a party on a Friday
Doing things my way, chilling with my cousin Shareef
A girl walks my way, couldn't say get away
Cause, then again, it goes against my Islamic beliefs
So I'ma kick game, get to know the honey's name
Cause you know that I was looking for a real good time
She was fine, so I kicked a few lines
But I couldn't get ya out my mind, get ya out of my mind, so

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

All the real good ships of lollypops
Stop for a second and listen to ya heart
And if ya still say no, then I'ma, have to let you go
And then wave goodbye, and give one last cry
Cause I'm not going to take it no more, so don't do that
Can't keep breaking my heart, so don't pursue that
Time has been wasted, time has been spent
Pain is the essence, but not my intent
So gaze through the woods and stop through the meadows
Cause I love Lucy like Bill love Jello
And if you ever change your mind one day
Then you know where I stay, just a block away
And I wait for you to

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

Come back to me
Come back to me
Baby, baby, please, come back to me

"Do you like the music, do you, do you like the music"
"Hey, you ruined my record, man! I just bought it!"
