Come Back Darling

UB 40 · The Very Best of UB40 [2000]

Come back darling

Give me another try

I'll make you satisfied



Don't you know, I need you badly

And I'll give my poor heart gladly

I need your love like roses need the rain



Don't let me cry in pain



Come back darling

Give me another try

I'll make you satisfied



Can't you see the love still burning

Please return, relieve my yearning

A day without you is like a year of emptiness

Please return and bring me happiness



Come back darling

Give me another try

I'll make you satisfied
