Get On Back To Your Man Lyrics

I can't believe that I saw you today

In a hot black skirt and a black beret

Was it some kind of come on?

Was it some kind of master plan?

And although I'd like to be close to you

There's only one thing that you have to do

That's forget about me babe

Get on back to your man

Because it wasn't me who brought you this far

Who taught you to dream and to live on a star

It wasn't me who taught you to love

Hey what are you thinking of?

Get on back to your man

We've taken our love as far as it will go

I'd tell you about it but you already know

It was a story I heard once, getting high with Peter Pan

You could live in a dream world of diamonds and laughter

But nothing gets saved for the morning after

Go away

Get on back to your man

Because it wasn't me who brought you this far

Who taught you to dream and to live on a star

It wasn't me who taught you to love

Hey what are you thinking of?

Get on back to your man

And it's not that I don't want to hold you twice

Love you once, make it three times as nice

But this isn't a love song

It's more an emotional scan

You're more to me than a face in the wind

And it's more important just to call you friend

I can sympathize

But get on back to your man

Because it wasn't me who brought you this far

Who taught you to dream and to live on a star

It wasn't me who taught you to love

Hey what are you thinking of?

Get on back to your man

Mine is a life of terror and disease

And all I can ask is that you get off of your knees

Look to the sunrise and realize how it all began

With a traded phrase and a worn out line

Sooner or later it's closing time

It was a beautiful rhyme babe

Get on back to your man

Because it wasn't me who brought you this far

Who taught you to dream and to live on a star

It wasn't me who taught you to love

Hey what are you thinking of?

Get on back to your man
