Baby come Back by Player from 1977 expresses the pain and loneliness of a broken heart perfectly. The obsessive thoughts of being with the one who broke up with you, doing everything you can do forget and not succeeding, and pleading with your ex to come back, again unsuccessfully.

The line Baby come back, you can blame it all on meis especially poignant. It illustrates the mistake many people who long to reconcile with their ex make–apologizing profusely and taking all the blame. Resist the urge to do this if you want to get back with your ex; it may seem like a good idea at the time, but it’s a huge mistake, according to T. W. Jackson, author of The Magic of Making up..

The line Any fool could see that there was something in everything about you suggests that the person begging their ex to come back may have been the one to break off the relationship. It’s not always the person who was dumped who wants to get back with their ex.

This song may make it sound like trying to reconcile with your ex is hopeless. I liked to listen to it when I felt like I could never get back with my ex-girlfriend. It’s okay to feel this feeling, even embrace it and own it, but don’t believe it. Just remember, hope lives!

The Lyrics: “Baby Come Back” by Player

Spending all my nights,
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes,
I’m right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something 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

All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something 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

Now that I put it all together
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

Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something 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
