Welcome Home
Rekindling Love: Dusty Springfield's Welcome Home Revelation
Lyrics
We acted like children
We behaved immaturity or irresponsibly.
Now, don't tell me that you're sorry
Do not express regret to me now.
Darling, I'm as much to blame as anyone
I acknowledge my share of responsibility in this situation.
It's over and done
The relationship is over and concluded.
Baby, I'm so glad to have you home
I am pleased that you are back home.
Welcome home, my baby
Expressing joy and welcome to the person returning home.
Welcome home, my baby
Reiterating the warm welcome to the person returning home.
And this time we'll make it
Committing to making the relationship work this time.
We'll give a love as well as take it
Promising mutual giving and taking in love.
We'll let pride be something we have in our love
Deciding to have pride in the love shared, not just individually.
Not just in ourselves
Emphasizing pride within the context of the relationship, not just personal pride.
Baby, it's so good to have you home
Expressing the joy of having the person back home.
Welcome home, my baby
Welcoming the person back home with affection.
Welcome home, my baby
Reiterating the warm welcome to the person returning home.
Into my arms
Inviting the person into the speaker's arms.
Into my heart
Inviting the person into the speaker's heart.
Into my life
Inviting the person into the speaker's life.
Into my life
Reiterating the invitation into the speaker's life.
Forever
Expressing a commitment to forever.
'Cause we acted just like children
Reflecting on past behavior, acknowledging immaturity.
Baby, forgive me
Seeking forgiveness for past actions.
I said I'm sorry
Apologizing and expressing sorrow.
I know I acted like a fool
Admitting to foolish behavior in the past.
Baby, baby, baby please don't take it out on me
Pleading with the person not to hold it against them.
Oh, oh
(Vocalization, possibly conveying emotion)
Baby, baby
Repeating a plea for understanding and forgiveness.
