Come Back To Me

Janet Jackson · Design Of A Decade 1986/1996

Looking through my old drawer
Came across the letter you wrote
Said you needed time away
That was so long ago
All my life I’ve waited
To see your smile again
In my mind I hated
Not able to let go

Come back to me
I’m beggin’ you please
Come back to me
I want you to
Come back to me
I’m beggin’ you please
Come back to me

Lord knows that I have tried
To live my life as one
Friends tell me to hold on
Tough times don’t last for long
My abandoned heart
Just doesn’t understand
My undying love for you
Won’t let me wait

Come back to me
I’m beggin’ you please
Come back to me
I want you to
Come back to me
I’m beggin’ you please
Come back to me

Please come back to me
I miss you so much
Wherever you are I love you
All my life I’ve waited
To see your smile again
In my mind I hated
Not able to let go
