Comin’ Back Soon (The Bereft Man’s Song) Songtext
von Crash Test Dummies

I′ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet I'll recognize
My mouth says things that aren′t so wise

But when I sing my darling's praise
I know I'm right or close anyways
For she′s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return

Oh, I know it′s true, I know it's true
That I was made for her and she me too
And I′m confident that she'll think so too
And she′ll be come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back soon

Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we're getting low on jam
I give her the last spoonful, that′s just the way I am


And I drive her to work each day
Even though it's early and work is far away
And I don't even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

Because I know it′s true, I know it′s true
That I was made for her and she me too
And I'm confident that she′ll think so too
And she'll be come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back soon

I can′t stand her goddamned friends
But I will tolerate them even though I hate them
I will put up with her parents
She says, "I'll not ever meet someone
Who is so kind and sweet ever again"

Oh, I know it′s true, I know it's true
That I was made for her and she me too
And I'm confident that she′ll think so too
And she′ll be come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back soon

I've all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet I′ll recognize
My mouth says things that aren't so wise


When I sing my darling′s praise
I know I'm right or close anyways
She′s a gem upon this earth
Well, I know to me she will return

Oh, I know it's true, I know it's true
That I was made for her and she me too
And I′m pretty sure that she′ll think so too
And she'll be come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back soon

Yeah, she′ll be come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back soon
