I don't know why
Come back, come back, come back
And I'll forever be that fella on the side she passes me by
Come back, come back, come back
(Come back)

Maybe her eye is on just some other guy
(I said, come back, baby)
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
Is maybe one day she'll notice me
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
I don't know why
And I'll forever be that fella on the side, she passes me by
Come back, come back, come back
Maybe her eye is just on some other guy

Or is my young mind just wishing
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back
It gets so confusing, this game
(I know you want to)
And like a ghost I'm haunting her
Come back, come back, come back
I often fantasize 'bout walking hand in hand
But I don't know her name or if she's got a man
(By my side)
She left me standing there with arrows in my heart
Come back, come back, come back
She keeps on passin' me by
Come back, come back, come back, baby
I coulda sworn I saw that shawty walking down the road
And the only thing that gives me hope to stay
She keeps on passin' me by

And I'll forever be that fella on the side, she passes me by
As I hopped off the train this shawty caught my eye

I don't know why

(I want you here by me)
She keeps on passin' me by
Come back, come back, come back

And later on that week while driving in my car
I get strange pleasure though from going through this pain
(Why won't you come back?)
I met a lot of girls but never felt this way
Come back, come back, come back

I thought she passed at me while I was staring from afar
I asked her for her name, she gave me no reply

But yet and still I'm wanting her
Maybe her eye is on just some other guy
