Tank · Other Songs - Tank
Done a lot of wildn' out, now it looks like it's the end
'Cuz I didn't think that you'd ever leave
But now you broke me on down to my knees
Baby please come back
Said I'm a mess without you can't you see
Baby please come back
Now when I think about it
You've been so good... to me
And I know all your friends
Tell you jut to get over me
But I didn't think that you'd ever leave but now
You left and took a part of me
Baby please come back
I can't think, I can't shake, I can't take it
Baby please come back
This is my tenth message on your phone
Baby please come back
Done gone thru 3 bottles of patron
Baby please come back
Girl I didn't think that you'd ever leave me
Now I'm checking every car that drives down our street
I don't care if you with somebody else
Baby please come back
I'm sittin in the corner talking to myself
Baby please come back
They say I'm losing my mind
Baby please come back
Polices is standing right outside
Baby please come back
I'm dancing to our song by myself
Baby please come back
If I can't have you, I don't wany nobody else
Baby please come back
Who got my hennessey, I'm just gonna take myself back to sleep
And maybe she'll come back in my dreams
Pleast just come back, yeah.
Baby Please Come Back
Released by Tank in 1998, 'Baby Please Come Back' stands as a defining track of the mid-to-late 1990s hip-hop scene. The song showcases Tank's signature melodic flow and introspective lyricism, blending elements of R&B and alternative hip-hop that characterized his work during this era. As a solo project, the recording reflects the transitional period in his career, moving away from his earlier group affiliations to establish a distinct personal voice. The track's production features a smooth, atmospheric backdrop that complements the vocal delivery, creating a mood of quiet longing and self-reflection. It remains a staple of the genre's catalog, illustrating the evolution of rap music in the late nineties and cementing Tank's reputation as a thoughtful artist capable of crafting emotionally resonant narratives without relying on explicit aggression.
