[INTRO — NO LYRICS] [Deep bass enters first. Rhodes and muted guitar slowly join. Smooth vocal texture with no words.] [Verse 1] You say you came here with your friends Funny, you keep ending up beside me You say you’re only staying for a minute Funny, you’ve been here all night You don’t have to tell me what you’re thinking I can see it every time you smile You got that “I don’t need nobody” attitude But you keep standing close enough to stay awhile [Pre-Chorus] I know you got your reasons I know you like to play it cool But every time you say you’re leaving You find another reason not to move [Chorus] You keep coming back, back, back Say you don’t want me, then you double right back You keep coming back, back, back Girl, I ain’t even gotta ask You know where the good love at You know where the good love at You can tell your friends whatever you want But you keep coming back [Post-Chorus — NO LYRICS] [Layered background vocals answer the lead with rhythmic vocalizations.] Back, back, back… You keep coming back… [Verse 2] You know I don’t do all that chasing I got better things to do tonight But somehow when I start walking away You always find a reason to catch my eye You say I’m too confident I say maybe you’re just used to less You say I’m trouble I say baby, you knew that before you got dressed [Pre-Chorus] I know you got your reasons I know you like to play it cool But every time you say you’re leaving You find another reason not to move [Chorus] You keep coming back, back, back Say you don’t want me, then you double right back You keep coming back, back, back Girl, I ain’t even gotta ask You know where the good love at You know where the good love at You can tell your friends whatever you want But you keep coming back [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — NO LYRICS] [Deep bass groove takes center stage. Rhodes stabs, muted guitar and tight drums create a funky pocket. Short vocal chops only.] [Bridge] Maybe it’s the way I say your name Maybe it’s the way I make you laugh Maybe it’s the way you know I ain’t gonna ask you where you’ve been You can disappear for a week Come back like you never left And I ain’t even mad about it Girl, you know me better than that [BREAKDOWN — NO LYRICS] [Drums disappear. Bass and Rhodes remain. Intimate lead vocal.] [Spoken vocal] You leaving? [NO LYRICS — BRIEF PAUSE] I didn’t think so. [FINAL CHORUS] You keep coming back, back, back Say you don’t want me, then you double right back You keep coming back, back, back Girl, I ain’t even gotta ask You know where the good love at You know where the good love at You can tell your friends whatever you want But you keep coming back [FINAL CHORUS — BIGGER] You keep coming back, back, back Every little time, you double right back You keep coming back, back, back Girl, I ain’t even gotta ask You know where the good love at You know where the good love at You can run all night if you want But you keep coming back [VAMP — NO LYRICS] [Extended bass-driven R&B groove. Lead and background vocals trade short hook phrases. Increase harmonies and vocal intensity gradually.] [Lead vocal] You keep coming back… [Background vocals] Back, back, back… [Lead vocal] I know where you wanna be… [Background vocals] Right here… [Lead vocal] You keep coming back… [Background vocals] Back, back, back… [Lead vocal] You can tell yourself whatever you want… [Background vocals] But you keep coming back…. [FINAL AD-LIBS — NO LYRICS] [Improvised soulful vocal runs, falsetto, playful melodic bends and layered harmonies. Keep the delivery confident rather than emotional.] [OUTRO — NO LYRICS] [Let the bass and drums ride. Rhodes and muted guitar remain in the pocket while background vocals gradually repeat the hook and fade.]
