about

I wrote this on the plane ride home from hell. just couldn't get her off my mind; ears popping, 4 Bloody Marys, blankets, pillows, 5 bags of nuts later...finally gave in and wrote something.
Should have tried some primal scream exercises, but I was scared the stewardess would withhold her phone number.
Thanks to the group for helping me record this on such short notice.

lyrics

Come On Back to Me Baby

By Peter Kern

Chorus:
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby

Bridge:
I was head over heels in love with you right from the very start
It’s grown deep, deeper and deeper in the time we’ve been apart

Chorus:
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby

Your folks were less than happy, I wasn't worthy they were right
Still your proclamation of eternal love, made me shudder with delight

Exquisite, fine, and glamorous, I put you on parade
To show the gang that this old boy really had it made

Bridge:
Then a smorgasbord of failures, schemes and ventures I devised
Put a strain on our relationship I never meant to compromise

Chorus:
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby

On the trip down to Las Vegas we had planned to tie the knot
I chickened out, got wasted, she loves me yes, she loves me not.

The day after you left me, when the sense of loss set in
Your smile, your touch, your love was gone as if it had never been.


Bridge:
What hurts the worst is imagining that soon some other man
Will get to feel his putty inside those sweet soft gentle hands

Chorus:
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby

Gone through a case of bourbon haven’t bathed in seven days
Smoked twenty packs of cigarettes, four hundred butts in one ash tray

The only girl on God’s good earth who cared a damn for me
Down on my knees I’m praying to Jesus for your return to me

Bridge:
Love is an emotion of strong affection and desire.
It’s said to be a virtue representing human kind

Chorus:
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
Come on back to me baby Come on back to me baby
