Back to Life (However You Want Me To Be) [Apple Music Home Session] Lyrics

[Intro]
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to the here and now, yeah

[Verse 1]
Show me how
Decide what you want from me
Tell me maybe, I could be there for you

[Chorus]
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, how?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, how?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How evеr do you need me?

[Verse 2]
Back to life
Back to the prеsent time
Back from a fantasy, yes
Tell me now, take the initiative
I'II leave it in your hands
Until you’re ready, yeah
[Chorus]
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, how?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you need me?

[Bridge]
I live at the top of the block
No more room for trouble and fuss
Need a change, a positive change
Look, it's my writing on the wall

[Chorus]
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, oh?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, oh?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me, oh?
How ever do you want me?
How ever do you need me?

What did Yola say about "Back to Life (However You Want Me To Be) [Apple Music Home Session]"?
Genius Answer

I also chose to cover Soul II Soul’s ‘Back To Life’ because for me it was an example of true Black British excellence that I grew up with. It’s a beautiful song and it’s beautifully delivered without the feeling of it having been interfered with to translate to a mainstream audience. I feel that energy now as I come back to the UK and I’m feeling seen here, and no one is telling me to homogenise to anything that is white normative or reductive in its Black trope.
