Baby Come Back

Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates

Spending all my nights, all my money, goin' out on the town

Doin' anything just to get you off of my mind

But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again

And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time



Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

I was wrong and I just can't live without you



All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado

Tryin' to keep up a smile that hides the tears

But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again

How I wish to God that you were here



Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

I was wrong and I just can't live without you



Now that I put it all together

Give me the chance to make you see

Have you used up all the love in your heart?

Nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me?



Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

(Listen, baby)

I was wrong and I just can't live without you

I was wrong and I just can't live



Baby come back, any kind of fool could see

There was something in everything about you

Baby come back, you can blame it all on me

I was wrong and I just can't live without you
