Peter Wolf was a great frontman for J Geils. Peter and keyboard Seth Justman wrote most of the songs for them. They hit big in 1982 with their more pop-oriented album Freeze Frame. Up until that time they were more R&B.
Come Back was included on the Love Stinks. With that album, the band began to update their sound for the new decade. This record setup Freeze Frame to be a huge hit.
Peter Wolf and Seth Justman wrote this song.
The song peaked at #32 in the Billboard 100 and #19 in Canada in 1980.
Come Back
When you left me all alone
You left me cryin’ on my own
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
‘Cause I’m still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
Here I’m standin’ such a fool
It’s not like you babe
Oh, don’t be cruel
Help me, help me
‘Cause you know I’m not that strong
Help me, help me darlin’
I’ve been lonely for too long
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
‘Cause I’m still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-please come back to me darlin’-aah
Come back (baby)
Come back-won’t you come back to me
