You Came Back - Pete Townshend

Hey little girl playing in the street

Bakin' as an apple, no shoes on your feet

I think I can remember you

You look a whole lot better off than you used to

Hey little boy, throw me the ball

The kids in the park say you’re the dirtiest of all

Ain’t I met you sometime before

When the old street was here in the grocer’s store?

You came back, you came back

And I’m glad you begged my time

You came back, you came back

And by that mischievous look in your eye

I’d say before long, if I’m not wrong

You’ll be back, you’ll come back again

Before long, and I’m not wrong

You’ll be back

You’ll be (overvoice sings «come») back again

Things have fallen into place, puttin' names on every face

Remember bein' dead and alive

What could be the key

Am I crazy as I seem?

Can I believe what I see with my own eyes?

That girl with the umbrella Used to be a fella

He used to be my very good friend

Now I recall, in the mystery of things

I’ve been here before and done million things

If it’s all right with you, I’ll remember you, too

But I won’t tell you who you were last time

But you’re making up for it now

I suffer amnesia when you kiss my brow

You came back.

You came back

And I’m glad you begged my time

You came back, You came back

And by the mischievous look in your eye

I’d say that before long

If I’m not wrong

You’ll be back

You’ll come back again
