About Come on Over

"Come On Over" is a ballad written by Barry and Robin Gibb and recorded by the Bee Gees for their album Main Course, with lead vocals by Robin, joined by Barry in the chorus of the song. A live version was recorded in Los Angeles during their Children of the World Tour and appeared on their first live album Here at Last... Bee Gees... Live. The song was more reminiscent of their older style compared to the new R&B sound of "Jive Talkin'" and "Nights on Broadway". It would become a #1 adult contemporary hit for Olivia Newton-John in 1976.

If my life gets like a jigsaw 
With the pieces out of place 
Come on over 
Put a smile back on my face 

And if all my bad days came at once 
You would know just what to do 
Come on over 
Baby, you would see me through 

And if you think I need you 
Come on over 
Bring your love around 
You can dry away my tears 

And if you think I need you 
Come on over 
Lay your body down 
You know I will be here 
So bring your love around 

When I cannot see in front of me 
And I know my darkest day 
Come on over 
You can take it all away 

And if you think I need you 
Come on over 
Bring your love around 
You can wipe away my tears 

And if you think I need you 
Come on over 
Lay your body down 
You know I will be here 
So bring your love around 

If you think 
If you think I need you 
Come on over
