The rain falls on my windows
And a coldness runs through my soul
And the rain falls, oh, the rain falls
I don't want to be alone

I wish that I could Photoshop
All our bad memories
'Cause the flashbacks, oh, the flashbacks
Won't leave me alone

If you come back to me, I'll be all that you need
Baby, come back to me
Let me make up for what happened in the past

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, boy, you're one in a million

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, you're one in a million

Lower east side of Manhattan
She goes shopping for new clothes
And she buys this and she buys that
Just leave her alone

I wish that he would listen to her side of the story
It isn't that bad, it isn't that bad
And she's wiser for it now

I admit I cheated, don't know why I did it
But I do regret it
Nothing I can do or say can change the past

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, boy, you're one in a million

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, you're one in a million

Everything I ever did, heaven knows I'm sorry, babe
I was too young to see, you were always there for me
And my curiosity got the better of me
Baby, take it easy on me

Anything from A to Z, tell me what you want to be
I open my heart to thee, you are my priority
Can't you see you've punished me, more than enough already
Baby, take it easy on me

Baby, take it easy on me
Baby, come back to me
Baby, come back to me

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, boy, you're one in a million

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, you're one in a million

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, boy, you're one in a million

Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, I'll be everything you need
Come back, baby, come back to me
Come back, you're one in a million
