"Take Me Back" as written by Ivan Barias, Carvin Haggins, Johnnie Ii Smith, Elizabeth Withers and Jean Evalyn Norris....
Deep in the heart
Of a seething beast
Think of bright lights
A splendid feast
But something's missing
She's feeling low
Something's missing
She's going home
Take me back -- I'm feeling low
Take me back -- I'm going home
Take me back -- I'm so alone
Take me back -- I'm traveling home
Suspicious stranger
There's something wrong
She is changed
Ah but this is not
She is back
But she's not home
She is back
But she's still alone
She came back after all this time
She came back to warning signs
All is black when the lights are on
Nothing rhymes its been so long
It's been so long
Deep in the heart
Of a seething beast
Think of bright lights
A splendid feast
Where you arrive
Can be home
Where you come from
Isn't always home
Take me back -- I'm coming home
Take me back -- where I belong
Take me back -- I'm leaving home
Take me back -- I'm coming home
Of a seething beast
Think of bright lights
A splendid feast
But something's missing
She's feeling low
Something's missing
She's going home
Take me back -- I'm feeling low
Take me back -- I'm going home
Take me back -- I'm so alone
Take me back -- I'm traveling home
Suspicious stranger
There's something wrong
She is changed
Ah but this is not
She is back
But she's not home
She is back
But she's still alone
She came back after all this time
She came back to warning signs
All is black when the lights are on
Nothing rhymes its been so long
It's been so long
Deep in the heart
Of a seething beast
Think of bright lights
A splendid feast
Where you arrive
Can be home
Where you come from
Isn't always home
Take me back -- I'm coming home
Take me back -- where I belong
Take me back -- I'm leaving home
Take me back -- I'm coming home

The second verse suggests that she doesn't go home often, so everything has changed and it's even less than a home than it was before she left the first time.
The chorus basically centres around her desire to go to her real home, which is where she belongs and not the home she was raised in.
