If You Come Back to Me Lyrics


You were right all along
You know I hate that, admitting I was wrong
So I don't answer the phone when it's youIt's funny when I see the caller I.D.
That shows the phone line's
Still in your dad's nameSo hey, I'm doing okay
And I'll get back to you
If you come back to meYour voice is so Marilyn Monroe
It's funny how that makes me wanna smash the phone
I wonder if JFK ever felt this wayAll alone, like summer when it snows
So out of place, so out of those fake smiles
I used to do so wellAnd here's the part of the song
Where I start to break down like my broken heart
But it's not gonna matterThe lines are all down from a hurricane
They should have named after you
Maybe I should get a Scorpions ringtone
To remind me of youBut hey, I'm doing okay
And I'll get back to you
If you come back to meOh, here we go

Just like a broken record skipping apart
That we both oughta know by heartWe were right there and now it seems so tragic
No happy ending, now this whole thing seems so drastic
You asked me 20 times where we could find our magic
Ask David Copperfield or even Ric OcasekDavid Blaine, where's the magic?
Lance Burton, where's the magic?
Harry Potter, where's the magic?
I used to think Pop Rocks were magicSigfried and Roy, where's the magic?
Shaquille O'Neal, why'd you leave the magic?
You asked me 20 times or was it 28?
And then your greatest trick ever was your Great EscapeSo hey, I'm doing okay
And I'll get back to you
If you come back to meOh, here we go
Just like a broken record skipping apart
That we both oughta know by heart
And I can still hear you singing along, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
