[Verse 1]
Bound for trouble from the start
I've been walking through this old world
In the dark
All along, right by my side
There you were shining
My ray of light

[Chorus]
So I sing, lover come back
Lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back
Ever come back to me?
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Lover come back
Lover come back to me

[Verse 2]
I'll never be as good as I'd like to be
Eternally restless, refusing to believe
But I think that we missed our connection (missed our connection)
I wanted to feel your affection (feel your affection)
Until my final days

[Chorus]
I sing lover come back
Lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back
Ever come back to me?
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
Lover come back
Lover come back to me
[Bridge]
I am warm enough
Yet I still shiver
I am fed, but still I starve
You know me, I am the great misgiver
Always waiting on the clouds to part

[Chorus]
I sing lover come back
Lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back
Ever come back to me?
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
So lover come back
Lover come back to me

[Chorus]
Lover come back
Lover come back to me
Won't you ever come back
Ever come back to me?
How could I have been so foolish to let you leave?
So lover come back
Lover come back to me
