I won't be satisfied 'Till you're by my side Don't wait any longer, come back Why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time You said goodbye I was trying to hide what I felt inside Until you passed me by You said you'd return You said that you'd be mine 'Till the end of time Well don't wait any longer Why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Since you've been gone Opened my eyes and I realize What we had together Will you ever return? I'll have you change your mind If you won't stay mine just love me forever Love me forever Why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry, why don't you come back? Please hurry Just come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Come back and stay for good this time Don't ever leave What if, everything, everything we had together
