Lyric :
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Baby, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
I’ll give you jewelry and money, too
That ain’t all, that ain’t all I’ll do for you
Baby, if you bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)You know I’ll always be your slave
‘Til I’m buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)One more thing
I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out late at night
But I forgive you, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)…Advertisement
About The Song :
“Bring It On Home to Me” is a soulful song by Sam Cooke, released in 1962. Produced by Hugo & Luigi and arranged by René Hall, it served as the B-side to “Having a Party.” The song, featuring a duet with Lou Rawls, blends Cooke’s pop and gospel influences. With a stripped-down arrangement dominated by piano, drums, and saxophone, it deviates from Cooke’s usual polished style. The lyrics express remorse and a plea for a loved one to return after a painful separation. Despite its rawness, the song reached number two on Billboard’s Hot R&B Sides chart and number 13 on the Hot 100. Released two years after Cooke established his own label, SAR, and joined RCA, the song reflects Cooke’s growing influence as an African-American artist in the music industry.
