Lyrics
Oh, come on, oh, yeah
Expression of anticipation or encouragement.
Well I tried to tell you so
Attempt to communicate a message.
But I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes
Explaining a situation or narrative.
Baby, now I got the flow
Feeling confident and in control now.
'Cause I knew it from the start
Asserting prior knowledge or intuition.
Baby, when you broke my heart
Referring to a past emotional injury.
That I had to come again, and show you that I win
Commitment to proving oneself again.
(You lied to me) All those times I said that I love you
Pointing out dishonesty in the past.
(You lied to me) Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
Expressing efforts made despite deception.
(You lied to me) Even though you know I'd die for you
Willingness to sacrifice for the relationship.
(You lied to me) Yes, I cried, yes, I cried
Emotional response to the deception.
Return of the Mack
Declaration of a triumphant return.
It is
Affirmation of the return.
(Return of the Mack) Come on
Encouraging others to acknowledge the return.
(Return of the Mack) Oh my God
Expressing surprise or awe at the return.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
Stating the intention to come back.
(Return of the Mack) Once again
Reiterating the return and its significance.
(Return of the Mack) Pump up the world
Encouraging excitement or celebration.
(Return of the Mack) Watch my flow
Emphasizing personal style or skill.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go
Reaffirming the intention to return.
So I'm back up in the game
Re-entry into a competitive situation.
Running things to keep my swing
Maintaining control and influence.
Letting all the people know
Informing the public of the return.
That I'm back to run the show
Expressing the intent to lead or dominate.
'Cause what you did, you know, was wrong
Judgment of past actions as incorrect.
And all the nasty things you've done
Condemning previous harmful behavior.
So, baby, listen carefully
Requesting attention for a comeback.
While I sing my comeback song
Introduction to a song about returning.
You lied to me
Reiteration of deception.
'Cause she said she'd never turn on me
Recalling a promise of loyalty.
(You lied to me) But you did, but you do did
Acknowledging the breach of trust.
(You lied to me) All this pain you said I'd never feel
Contradicting assurances of no pain.
(You lied to me) But I do, but I do, do, do
Admitting to experiencing emotional pain.
Return of the Mack
Reaffirmation of the return.
It is
Confirmation of the return.
(Return of the Mack) Hold on
Urging patience or anticipation.
(Return of the Mack) Don’t you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
Restating the commitment to return.
(Return of the Mack) Once again
Reiteration of the return.
(Return of the Mack) Pump up the world
Encouraging enthusiasm or celebration.
(Return of the Mack) All night long
Extending the duration of the return.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go
Reaffirming the intention to return.
Return of the Mack
Repeating the declaration of return.
It is
Reiteration of the return.
(Return of the Mack) Hold on
Urging patience or anticipation.
(Return of the Mack) Don’t you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I am
Restating the commitment to return.
(Return of the Mack) Once again
Reiteration of the return.
(Return of the Mack) Pump up the world
Encouraging enthusiasm or celebration.
(Return of the Mack) All night long
Extending the duration of the return.
(You know that I'll be back) Here I go
Reaffirming the intention to return.
