Lyrics

I believe that it would all have come to pass if I had
Taken notice I was slipping fast
But I let you get away! (Woah!)
How could I have overlooked
All the little things it took
To keep you hooked in my life?
It's so incomplete
'Cause the bitter is more than the sweet (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm thirsty for your love, but my well is dry
Without you by my side
Come on back! (Come back, lover, come back)
You know that (I missed you so—)
I missed you so much (Come back, lover, come back)
Why did you— (Why did you have to go?)
What I know now I wish that I had known back then
So I wouldn't have to do it over again
Baby, you can take the word (Woah!)
Of a man with foolish pride
I can overcome it if you let me try once again
I've learned from my mistakes
'Cause I miss you more with each passing day (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your absence made me see just what you meant to me
And where our love could be
Come on back! (Come back, lover, come back)
You know that (I missed you so—)
I missed you so much (Come back, lover, come back)
Why did you— (Why did you have to go?)
Come on, come on, come on, come on back! (Come back, lover, come back)
You know that (I missed you so—)
I missed you so much (Come back, lover, come back, why did you have to go?)
Come on, come on, come on, come on back!
Come on, come on, come on, come on back! (Woah!)
Let me try once again
I've learned from my mistakes
'Cause I miss you more with each passing day (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your absence made me see just what you meant to me
And where our love could be
Come on back! (Come back, lover, come back)
You know that (I missed you so—)
I missed you so much (Come back, lover, come back)
Why did you— (Why did you have to go?)
Come on, come on, come on, come on back!
Come on back, babe (Come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back, babe, come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back, babe)
I'd like to hear you say that
Absence made the heart grow fonder!
Don't you leave me sittin' here to wonder
If there's any chance you'll still remember what we had
Then, baby, come on back! (Come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back, babe, come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back)
Come on back, babe (Come on back, babe)
Come on, come on, come on, come on back! (Come back, lover, come back)
You know that (I missed you so—)
I missed you so much (Come back, lover, come back, why did you have to go?)
