Back Home to Harlem Lyrics

You said that he was gone for good, but I saw him,
Oh my love,
You said that he was gone for good, but I saw him.
He was on the night train heading back to your apartment in Harlem.

I never thought you could be such a problem,
Oh my love,
I never thought you could be such a problem.
So pack your bags for good and go back over to Harlem.

You said you wanted somebody else, well you got him,
Oh my love,
You said you wanted somebody else, well you got him.
I hope that you and him are happy living together in Harlem.

I hope that he is good to you and spoils you rotten,
Oh my love,
I hope that he is good to you and spoils you rotten.
So get your shit together and go back over to Harlem.

Oh my love, oh my love,
Oh my love, oh my love.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Seems pretty clear to me. A guy and a girl break up so the song writer starts dating the girl, only to discover she is cheating on him with her ex-boyfriend.
