Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town

Doing anything just to get you off of my mind, yeah

But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again

And tryna forget you is just a waste of time

 

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, yeah, you can blame it all on me

'Cause I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

 

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado (false bravado)

Tryna keep up a smile that hides a tear (hides a tear)

But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again

How I wish to God that you were here

 

Baby come back, yeah, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

I was wrong, and I just can't live without you, no

 

Now that I put it all together, ooh

Give me the chance to make you see (make you see, baby)

Have you used up all the love in your heart? (Oh)

Nothing left for me? Ain't there nothing left for me?

 

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

'Cause I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

 

Baby I was wrong, and I just can't live

Baby come back.
