Come Back (Before You Leave)
Roxette · Tourism
Come back before you leave
Come back before you leave
Never looked back on a love affair
I never spend minutes on history
It made me sad, it made me so sad
And in no time no time at all
A change has begun and the name is you
I feel strange, you've made my life strange
'Cos baby when you get close to me
I say there's a certain chemistry
Come back before you leave
I haven't got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
You shouldn't go at all
You shouldn;t go at all
So many years and so many nights
I still can recall on the way that you move when you dance
Do you wanna dance?
We've had our habbits and attitudes
You make me remember the power when everything's right
Please stay the night
'Cos baby when you get close to me
There's something about you I really need
Come back before you leave
I haven't got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
You shouldn't go at all
Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
I haven;t got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
You shouldn't go at all
(you shouldn't go)
No, you shouldn;t go at all
Babe, come back before you leave
I'll be the air for you when you breathe
I'll be the rising sun
Close the door, let's make love
All God's angels sing above
Into the rising sun
Come back before you leave
I haven't got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
You shouldn't go at all, no
Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
I haven't got room for a broken heart
come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
You shouldn't go at all
(Shouldn't go)
Hey, you shouldn't go at all
Come back before you leave (X7)
Come back before you leave
Never looked back on a love affair
I never spend minutes on history
It made me sad, it made me so sad
And in no time no time at all
A change has begun and the name is you
I feel strange, you've made my life strange
'Cos baby when you get close to me
I say there's a certain chemistry
Come back before you leave
I haven't got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
You shouldn't go at all
You shouldn;t go at all
So many years and so many nights
I still can recall on the way that you move when you dance
Do you wanna dance?
We've had our habbits and attitudes
You make me remember the power when everything's right
Please stay the night
'Cos baby when you get close to me
There's something about you I really need
Come back before you leave
I haven't got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
You shouldn't go at all
Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
I haven;t got room for a broken heart
Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
You shouldn't go at all
(you shouldn't go)
No, you shouldn;t go at all
Babe, come back before you leave
I'll be the air for you when you breathe
I'll be the rising sun
Close the door, let's make love
All God's angels sing above

Come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
I haven't got room for a broken heart
come back before you leave
(Come back before you leave)
You shouldn't go at all

Hey, you shouldn't go at all
