Honey, Come Back
Longing Echoes: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale Behind Glen Campbell's 'Honey, Come Back'
Lyrics
Well honey I know I've said it many times before
Expressing acknowledgment of repeating a statement multiple times in the past.
I said I'd never say it again
Contradicting the previous promise of not saying something again.
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all
Contemplating silence due to the listener's commitment to someone else.
Since you're supposed to belong to him
Acknowledging the listener's supposed commitment to another person.
But I just can't let you go but I'm tellin' you just how much I love you
Expressing reluctance to let go and declaring profound love.
So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time
Reiterating the declaration of love and the necessity to express it once more.
Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer
Pleading for the listener to return, highlighting the unbearable loneliness.
And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Recalling the distant memory of the last time they were together.
Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Describing the pain of the listener returning to someone else's arms.
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Repeatedly urging the listener to come back and be exclusive.
Well I guess that's about all I gotta say
Concluding the expression of feelings and preparing to leave.
So I'm just gonna pack my bags and I'm gonna walk
Deciding to leave and expressing the intention to walk away.
I know those bright lights're callin' you honey
Acknowledging the allure of a glamorous life with bright lights and luxury.
Big fine cars and fancy clothes
Describing the materialistic attractions like cars and clothes.
But if you ever want someone to just love you and some day you just may
Offering genuine love if the listener ever desires it in the future.
Just give me a call you know where I am and here's what I'll say
Providing a reassurance that the speaker will be available if called.
Honey come back I just can't stand each lonely day's a little bit longer
Repeating the plea for the listener to come back, emphasizing prolonged loneliness.
And the last time I held you seems like a hundred years ago
Recalling the distant past and the duration since they last held each other.
Back to his arms and never know the joy of love that used to taste like
Expressing the regret of the listener missing the joy of past love.
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Reiterating the desire for the listener to return exclusively.
Honey come back where you belong to only me
Repeating the plea for the listener's exclusive return.
Honey come back where you belong to only me
-Honey come back where you belong to only me
