Lyrics
Here comes my baby back again
Expressing the return of the speaker's beloved.
He's coming back from where he's been
He's returning from a journey or some time away.
I'm glad to see him, he's just in time
Expressing joy at the return, emphasizing the perfect timing.
To love what's left of this badly broken lonely
Despite emotional damage, there is still love in the speaker's heart.
heart of mine
Highlighting the brokenness of the speaker's heart.
Thought I wouldn't miss him when he was gone
Initially underestimated the impact of the absence.
I thought that I could make it on my own
Believed the speaker could manage independently.
I've told my heart, we'll be just fine
The speaker tried to reassure their own heart about coping.
But day after day, night after night, time after time
Despite efforts, loneliness persists over time.
Nothin could take his place in this lonely heart of mine
Underlining the irreplaceable role of the beloved in the speaker's heart.
Here comes my baby back again
Reiteration of the return, indicating a cycle or pattern.
He's coming back from where he's been
Reaffirming the return journey of the beloved.
I'm glad to see him, he's just in time
Expressing joy again, highlighting the importance of timing.
To love what's left of this badly broken, lonely heart of mine
Repeating the idea of love despite the brokenness.
Found myself going where the lonely go
Describing a state of loneliness, a place where the speaker goes.
That boulevard of sadness that you might know
Reference to a familiar and melancholic place (boulevard of sadness).
My tears fell down, all over town
Expressing the widespread impact of the speaker's tears.
And day after day, night after night, time after time
Reiteration of persistent loneliness over time.
Nothing could take his place in this lonely heart of mine
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of the beloved.
Here comes my baby back again
Repeating the theme of the return of the beloved.
He's coming back from where he's been
Reaffirming the beloved's journey back.
So glad to see him, he's just in time
Expressing joy at the return, again stressing the timing.
To love what's left of this badly broken, lonely heart of mine
Repeating the idea of love despite the brokenness.
Here comes my baby back again
Final repetition of the return, closing the narrative loop.
