Lyrics

[Chorus]
Won't you come back tomorrow?
Won't you come back tomorrow?
Won't you come back tomorrow?
Can I sleep tonight?
[Verse 1]
Outside, somebody's outside
Somebody's knocking at the door
There's a black car parked at the side of the road
Don't go to the door, don't go to the door
[PreChorus]
I'm going out
I'm going outside, mother
I'm going out there
[Chorus]
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Will you be back tomorrow?
La, la-la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Who broke the window? Who broke down the door?
Who tore the curtain, and who was it for?
Who healed the wounds? Who heals the scars?
Open the door, open the door
[Chorus]
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Will you be back tomorrow?
Can I sleep tonight?
[Bridge]
'Cause I want you
I, I want you
I really want
I, I want, I, I
[Chorus]
Want you to be back tomorrow
I want you to be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow?
La, la-la, la, la
[Chorus]
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Will you be back tomorrow?
[Chorus]
Open up, open up, to the Lamb of God
To the love of He who made the blind to see
He's coming back
He's coming back
Oh, believe Him
Jesus coming
[Outro]
I'm gonna be there
I'm gonna be there, mother
I'm gonna be there, mother
I'm going out there
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I'm gonna be there
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
