I'll Be Back Lyrics
You know if you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again
Because I told you once before goodbye
But I came back again
I love you so
Oh, I'm the one who wants you, oh, oh
You could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time I will try to show
That I'm not trying to pretend
I thought that you would realize
That if I ran away from you
That you would want me too
But I've got a big surprise oh, oh
Oh, you could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time I will try to show
That I'm not trying to pretend
I want to go, but I hate to leave you
You know, I hate to leave you, oh, oh
Oh, you know if you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again
But I'll be back again
Because I told you once before goodbye
But I came back again
I love you so
Oh, I'm the one who wants you, oh, oh
You could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time I will try to show
That I'm not trying to pretend
I thought that you would realize
That if I ran away from you
That you would want me too
But I've got a big surprise oh, oh
Oh, you could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again
This time I will try to show
That I'm not trying to pretend
I want to go, but I hate to leave you
You know, I hate to leave you, oh, oh
Oh, you know if you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again

For the longest time this was my favorite Beatle song, but after listening to the White Album it was knocked down one notch. alot of feeling is in this song.
great songwriting in moll. best song of the album
Ah yes, the complexities of a relationship. Insecurities. Leaving so the other person will want you back. But they don't. Ouch. He obviously loves her more than she loves him - that's why he keeps "coming back".
Not only was this a song that the beatles had a lot of trouble writing, the take 2 and take 3 versions of the song are so funny. ( on the anthology discs). Those discs in general are good!!
Shawn Colvin has done a very soulful cover version of this song. I love the Beatles version but Shawn Colvin's version kind of puts more feeling into the song.
You love someone so fucking much, that you keep coming back to them, no matter what they do or what happens. Its like this invisible rope that ties you to them and they're keep pulling it back...
