Appearances

Overview

"Baby Come Back" is listed in the Catalog O' Riffs as having been recorded by Rivers Cuomo in 2002.[1] The synths were composed by Pat Wilson.[2] The song was demoed twice at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles in May of 2003 (with Wilson providing synths as well as backing vocals), presumably in contention for Weezer's then-planned fifth album.

Lyrics

Baby, come back
And do what you do
I wouldn't mind
If I was with you
Baby, come back
And say what you say
Out on the street
You're wasting away

You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back to me
You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back and see

I want to do it but I know it right now
I want to do it but I blow it somehow
I wanna go (It sounds so stupid but it's hard to do)
(It sounds so easy but I know it's true)

Baby, come back

Baby, come back
And do what you do
I wouldn't mind
If I was with you
Hanging around
And watching the screen
Looking around
There in-between

You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back to me
You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back and see

I want to do it but I do it right now
I want to do it but I blew it somehow
(It sounds so easy but it's hard to do)
(It sounds so stupid but I know it's true)

Baby, come back, yeah

You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back to me
You said you were back
You said you were back
You said you were back and see

I want to do it but I do it right now
I want to do it but I blew it somehow
I wanna take you by the side of the road
And beat you ... wherever you go
(It sounds so easy but it's hard to do)
(It sounds so easy but I know it's true)

Baby, come back, yeah
Baby, come back, yeah
Baby, come back, back, back
Baby, come back
