[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
You give the time, my love
Of you coming by, my love
There's such a chill, my love
I feel night and day

[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
And the chill won't end
'Til you hold me once again

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
So, come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back my love)
Mmm

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
So please be fair, my love
It's your turn to share, my love
Don't bring me pain, my love
By staying away

[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
A little love unused
Is a love so abused
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
So, come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)
Mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
And the chill won't end
Until you hold me once again

[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
So, come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)

[Interlude: Paul Williams]
Yes, darling, I'm here, all alone
Just waiting for you to come back home
Yes, I'll be here, just waiting on you, waiting
Waiting, waiting

[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
A little love unused
Is a love so abused
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
So, come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)

[Outro: Eddie Kendricks, The Temptations]
Oh, my dear, so stay right here
Come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)
I love you so and I'll never never go
Come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)
You're what I need, it's all I'll need
Come back, my love
(Come back, come back)
Come back, my love, to me
(Come back, my love)
Oh
