Come Back And Stay Lyrics

Since you've been gone
I shut my eyes and I fantasize that you're here with me
Will you ever return?
I won't be satisfied till you're be my side
Don't wait any longer
Come back

(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love?)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)

When you said goodbye
I was trying to hide what I felt inside until it passed me by
You said you'd return
You said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time
Well don't wait any longer, why don't you come back

(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love?)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)

Oh, since you've been gone
Opened my eyes and I realized what we had together
Will you ever return?
Or have you changed my mind
If you wanna stay mine just love me forever
Love me forever

(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
(Why don't you come back? please hurry)
(Why don't you come back? please hurry)

Just come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love?)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Did you write the book of love?)
Come back and stay for good this time
(Ego, envy, lust) don't ever leave

(Did you write the book of love?)
Mmm mmm (ego, envy, lust)
Oooh! (did you write the book of love?)
Well everything we had together
(Ego, envy, lust)
I don't wanna lose it
So don't wanna lose it,
(Did you write the book of love?)
All the time we had
The times that we had
(ego, envy, lust)

A man who messed up this relationship many times and eventually the woman he loves walks out on him and he desperately wants her back after realizes the mistakes he made.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Come Back And Stay lyrics by Paul Young

It's hard to say which is my favorite song by Paul Young, it's a toss up between this and Love of the Common People. The guy had such a great voice I'm surprised he didn't become more bigger then he was on the music scene. I was able to relate to this song much more though of the two.

It's not that I have the right to tell you which one of the two songs is better or which one of the two you should like the most, but since this is a site for interpretation and/or sharing of personal experiences which serve to give meaning to a song, it would have been useful that you told us why do you relate more to "Come Back and Stay". That's what I've been doing on other songs, at least.

I'm not sure if 5 years later you will come back and stay to this comment, Joking Kong, though.
