Comeback Lyrics

I wrote the book on self preservation
And I'm a firm believer in my piece of mind
But lately I've been looking back a little too much of the time
And you know what I see that I'm losing control of me
I took a good look at the situation
And I'm committed now though I know it's wrong
'cause when it comes to loving you, I never stop singing that song
I'm trying to say, I can't let common sense get in the way 'cause;
I'm making my comeback by going straight back to you
It's gonna get rough when that same old stuff starts flying again
I'm making my comeback, well, I'm making my first debut
'cause I wanna be a star, I just wanna be a star like you made me then
There ain't no joy in self destruction
I did better off leaving the past alone
The dirty dishes keep telling me I'm not sure thing on my own
But it's better to be unhappy in your company so;
I'm making my comeback, girl I'm going straight back to you
It's gonna get rough when that same old stuff starts flying again
Girl, I'm making my comeback, ooh, I'm making my first debut
'Cause I wanna be a star, I just wanna be a star like you made me then so;
I'm making my comeback, comeback, girl I'm going straight back to you
It's gonna get rough when the same old stuff starts flying again, lord
I'm making my comeback, comeback, well, I'm making my first debut
'cause I wanna be a star, I just wanna be a star like you made me then...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
