Come Back to Me
Yearning for Love: Dolly Parton's Plea in 'Come Back to Me'
Lyrics
(Dolly Parton)
Dolly Parton expresses a plea for someone to return.
Come back to me
A direct appeal for the person to return.
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Asking the person to confirm their love.
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Requesting affirmation that she fulfills their needs.
Baby come back come back to me
Reiteration of the plea for their return.
Oh please come back to me
Emphatic plea for the person to come back.
Come back and say you'll work it out with me
Asking to resolve issues together.
Come back to stay and say you're never gonna leave
Asking for a commitment to stay.
Baby come back, come back to me
Repeating the plea for their return.
Oh and kiss me once again as only you can
Desiring a familiar romantic gesture (a kiss).
Touch me like nobody else can do
Desiring unique affection only they can provide.
Oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
Seeking assurance of fidelity and affection.
And that you didn't need somebody new
Reiterating the need for loyalty.
Oh come back to me
Repeating the plea for the person to return.
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Symbolic reference to carrying the emotional burden.
Come back and promise me eternity
Asking for commitment and eternal love.
Baby come back, won't you come back to me?
Repeating the request for their return.
Kiss me once again as only you can
Reiteration of the desire for a familiar romantic gesture (a kiss).
Touch me like nobody else can do
Desiring unique affection only they can provide.
Oh, oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
Seeking assurance of fidelity and affection.
And that you didn't need somebody new
Reiterating the need for loyalty.
Oh, come back to me
Repeating the plea for the person to return.
Come back and mend this broken heart in me
Seeking emotional healing from their absence.
Without your love I know I'll never be complete
Expressing the feeling of incompleteness without their love.
Baby come back, won't you come back to me
Requesting their return to make her whole.
Oh please come back to me
Another plea for the person to return.
Baby come back, baby come back to me
Repeating the plea for their return.
Baby come back, come back and say I'm all you need
Requesting affirmation of being the only needed one.
Come back, won't you come back to me
Repeating the request for their return.
Come back to me
Reiterating the plea for the person to return.
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Asking for confirmation of their love.
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Asking for affirmation of fulfilling their needs.
Baby come back won't you come back to me
Repeating the plea for their return.
Oh, please come back to me
Another emphatic plea for the person to come back.
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Symbolic reference to the emotional pain endured.
Come back and promise me eternity...
Seeking a promise of eternal commitment.
