(Babe)
(I’m here again)
(Babe)
(Where have you been)
(Babe)
(I’m back again)
I come to your door
To see you again
But where you once stood
Was an old man instead
I asked where you'd be
He said "she's moved on you see
All I have is a number
You'd better ask her not me"
So I picked up the phone
And dialled your number
Not sure to put it down or speak
Then a voice I once knew answered
In a sweet voice
She said “hello” then paused
Before I began to speak
Babe (babe)
I'm here again (I'm here again)
I tell you I'm here again (babe)
Where have you been (where have you been)
Babe (babe)
I'm back again (I’m back again)
I tell you I'm back again (babe)
Where have you been
You held your voice well
There were tears I could tell
But where were you now
Were you gonna tell me in time
Just give me a town
And I'll be straight down
I've got so much to tell you
About where I have been
As I walk down your road
Can't wait to be near you(I)
I can't keep (I)
The feeling inside
(I can't keep it inside)
As I stand at your door
You answer in a sweet voice
She said “hello” then pause
Before I begin to speak
Babe (babe)
I'm here again (I'm here again)
I tell you I'm here again (babe)
Where have you been (where have you been)
Babe (babe)
I'm back again (I’m back again)
I tell you I'm back again (babe)
Where have you been
As I looked away
I saw a face behind you
A little boy stood at your door
(boy stood at your door)
And when I looked again
I saw his face
Was shining
He had my eyes (my eyes)
He had my smile (my smile)
Babe (babe)
I'm back again (I'm here again)
I tell you I'm back again (babe)
I'll be here for you
(where have you been)
Babe (babe)
Please take me back (I'm back again)
Take me back (babe)
Back home again
Babe (babe)
Please hold me close (I'm here again)
Hold me close (babe)
Like you used to do (where have you been)
Babe (babe)
Just me and you (I'm back again)
You and me (babe)
(I’m here again)

I don't particularly like pop music, but this song will always make it onto my top ten list, even my top five actually. It such a beautiful song, with a beautiful story. People do not give Gary Barlow enough credit. He's such an amazing songwriter, one of the most talented of the last 25 years. And this is coming from a rock chick! Take That certainly were THE boyband of the nineties, and definately one of the best ever.
(But I preferred them without that twat Robbie!)
IT IS ABOUT A REUNION OF 2 LOVERS, WHO FOR SOME REASON WERE TORN APART, AND SEPERATED. AND THEN PERHAPS HE REALIZED THAT THEY SHOULD UNITE AGAIN - AND LIFE BRIGS HIM HOME, NOT TO HIS LOVER, BUT TO A "FAMILY" - HIS FAMILY, HIS SON, AND THE MOTHER OF HIS SON... VERY BEAUTIFUL LYRICS...
this is the most amazing song when you're hearing it live, in a sold-out stadium, with thousands of people equally as in awe as you are.
the best experience of my life.
this song is my favorite one.i just love it.

This song has beautiful written all over it!!!!
TAKE THAT ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ROBBIE! that was contempt for Jack Torrance up there by the way! Mark Owen's voive really aggitates me!!
Its bout goin back 2 a woman, who he previously loved! His plan 2 win her heart! He just wants her back in his life! Awww Mark =)
its about a man who has to got and fight in the war, and its his story or coming back home, and seeing his son for the first time. "I saw his face Was shining He had my eyes (my eyes) He had my smile (my smile)"
Gorgeous song...It came out in 1994...But today everyone still knows the words 17 yrs later...It's incredible at their concerts to see the audience singing this note for note in unison...They still know the words after all this time...TT will leave behind a fantastic catalog of songs, and a well deserved legacy of being one of many greats in pop music history...Gaz is a fantastic songwriter/composer, and their harmonies are incredible...The "I" and "Babe" bit wow <33
