歌词
[Verse 1]
Spendin' all my nights, all my money goin' out on the town
Doin' anythin' just to get you off of my mind
But when the mornin' comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time
[Chorus]
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was somethin' in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
[Verse 2]
All day long, I'm wearin' a mask of false bravado
Tryin' to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feelin' again
How I wish to God that you were here
[Chorus]
Baby come back, oh baby, any kind of fool could see
There was somethin' in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you, oh
[Bridge]
Now that I put it all together, oh-oh
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart?
Nothing left for me? Ain't there nothing left for me?
[Chorus]
Baby come back, oh darling, any kind of fool could see
There was somethin' in everything about you
Baby come back, listen baby, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
I was wrong and I just can't live

多添一点：
今天分享一首 Player（播放器乐队） 的《Baby Come Back》。
今天来首70年代的软摇滚歌曲，下次抽空小E好好介绍下软摇滚。这首歌是他们乐队最著名的歌曲,在公告牌百强单曲榜和加拿大RPM单曲榜上登顶。这首歌也被其他艺人翻唱过，比如 Lisa Stansfield。2007年，迈克尔·贝的电影《变形金刚》中出现这首歌也让这首歌重新收获了些人气，不过最终并没有出现在电影原声带专辑中。
这首歌是由乐队创始人Peter Beckett 和 J. C. Crowley共同完成的。凭借这首歌，乐队拿到了一份唱片合同。他们写完这首歌后，邀请了贝斯手Ronn Moss加入，并向制作人推介这首歌。Dennis Lambert和Brian Potter的制作团队一听到这首歌就立刻把它带到了RSO唱片公司(RSO Records)。后来鼓手John Friesen加入了他们的阵容，他们在一起演出之前录制了他们的首张专辑。作为第一首单曲发行的《Baby Come Back》大受欢迎，于1978年1月登上榜首，并停留了三周之久。
Peter Beckett来自英格兰利物浦(披头士乐队的故乡)，后来搬到洛杉矶加入了天空乐队(Skyband)，该乐队在发行了一张专辑后解散。当他和 J. C. Crowley成立新乐队时，他的妻子已经离开他回到了英国。Crowley也在经历一场分手，所以把他们的感情融入到了这首歌中，创作了这首歌曲。
Peter Beckett在一本自己的书中谈到这首歌，“我猜这首歌能打动人心。基本上就是我们俩都和某人分手了。所以这是一首真实的歌，真实的歌词。我认为这一点在这首歌中也表现出来了，这就是它如此受欢迎的原因。”
谁没个离开的宝贝呢。归来吧，归来哟。
