(You Could Always) Come Back
Steve Wariner · Drive [Arista] [1993]
(Marc Beeson/Robert Byrne)
Long time no see now I'm fine you know me
Most folks can't tell I still hurt like hell
But you look in my eyes and see right through it
You wanna know what you can do.
You could always come back girl that's all you could do
Walk away from the life that he's made for you
You could love me again just the way you used to
Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.
Don't write, don't call, don't try to help at all
I've come this far you've already done your part
So sweet, sweet darling I'll tell you the truth
There's only one thing you could do.
You could always come back girl that's all you could do
Walk away from the life that he's made for you
You could love me again just the way you used to
Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.
As long as you've asked you could always come back...
Long time no see now I'm fine you know me
Most folks can't tell I still hurt like hell
But you look in my eyes and see right through it
You wanna know what you can do.
You could always come back girl that's all you could do
Walk away from the life that he's made for you
You could love me again just the way you used to
Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.
Don't write, don't call, don't try to help at all
I've come this far you've already done your part
So sweet, sweet darling I'll tell you the truth
There's only one thing you could do.
You could always come back girl that's all you could do
Walk away from the life that he's made for you
You could love me again just the way you used to
Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.
As long as you've asked you could always come back...
