Come Back To Bed Lyrics
still is the light
of your room
when you're not inside
and all of your things
tell the sweetest story line
tears on these sheets
and your footprints are down the hall
tell me what i did
i cant find where the moment went wrong at all
you can be mad in the morning
i'll take back what i said
just dont leave me alone here
its cold baby
come back to bed
come back to bed
come back to bed
come back to bed
what will this fix
you know you're not a quick forgive
and i wont sleep through this
i survive on the breath
you are finished with
you can be mad in the morning
i'll take back what i said
just dont leave me alone here
its cold baby
come back to bed
come back to bed
come back to bed
come on come back to bed
come back to bed...
[guitar solo]
you can be mad in the morning
or the afternoon instead
but dont leave me
98.6 degrees of separation
from you baby
come back to bed
come back to bed
come back to bed
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love one more time around baby
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head yeah
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head
come on come back to bed
[guitar solo]
ooooooh
come on in
ladies
the next time a man does something to upset you
dont do that thing where you pretend nothings wrong
but you still show something wrong
and you just say keep askin
and then us men askin you just say nothin
because we'll stop after two times god damn you we'll stop
nothing means nothing in our book right?
so then you just make it worse
because we think you want to
and maybe you want to
but maybe we can bridge the gap here
we can both sleep in the same bed
next time your man screws up
just look at him
fold your arms if you have to
because thats the worst thing in the world that you can do to a man
and just look him in the eye and say
"someday baby"
"someday baby"
OOOOOHhh
"someday baby"
"some some some someday baby"
[guitar again, with a few funny yelps from john]
"someday baby"
OOOOOhhhhh ooohhhhh...
"someday baby baby babayyyy"
"maybe tonight baby"
Ohhhhhhh oh oh oh oh oh mmmmhhmmm
dehhh duhhhh uuuuuhh [with the guitar]
[guitar again]
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head
come back to
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head
dont hold your love over my head...

this is john's greatest true love song
Why the hell are there only two comments on this? This song is so romantic and realistic. I love it. It's actually staggering in its power. The lyrics are very clear, I think, and need no explanation. I love "Don't hold your love over my head.."
this has to be one fo my favorite john mayer songs (although i'm sure i say that about all of them). It may not be his best lyrically, but the raw emotion he conveys, especially in this live version, is amazing. and the guitar solos in the live version blow me away everytime i hear it, damn.
"Don't hold your love over my head."
That is the BEST quote ever. To me... I don't even know what to say. I just picture someone holding a string over a kitten's head... and making the kitten jump to get it. The girl is holding her love over his head... just like that . =)
John Mayer's lyrics are so powerful and have such emotion in them,
I think the lyrics:
"You can be mad in the morning I'll take back what i said Just dont leave me alone here its cold baby come back to bed"
express perfectly the message in this song, this is one of my favorites from John Mayer.
"still is the life of your room when you're not inside and all of your things tell the sweetest storyline" i love that! i love the guitar in this song.
"i survive on the breath you are finished with" is so powerful to me
john mayer's the shit... great song
i really love this song, even though its not my favorite. but does anyone under stand the quote
"98.6 degrees of separation from you baby"
i never understood it
@ms abbey, I interpreted this as a double entendre, with the use of 'and' instead of 'point' between 98 and 6.
98.6 degrees being the temperature of the human body (physical); and 6 degrees of separation referring to people who have a connection but do not directly know each other (mental). At its most basic meaning he is pleading with her to close the physical and mental distance between them by coming back to bed and communicating directly to him what she is experiencing.

i love love LOVE this song! it's so beautiful an passionate...
as for "98.6 degrees of separation from you baby" ...98.6 is the normal body temperature, so he wants her to "come back to bed" and bring that 98.6 degrees back to him, and it's also kind of a play on the "6 degrees of separation" thing
