Lyrics: Comin’ Back Soon (the Bereft Man’s Song)
Album: The Ghosts That Haunt Me
Artist: Crash Test Dummies
 

I’ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet i’ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren’t so wise
But when i sing my darling’s praise
I know i’m right, or close anyways
For she’s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return

Chorus:
Oh i know it’s true, i know it’s true
That i was made for her, and she me too
And i’m confident that she’ll think so too
And she’ll be coming back…soon

Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we’re getting low on jam
I give her the last spoonful, that’s just the way i am
And i drive her to work each day
Even though it’s early and work is far away
And i don’t even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

[chorus]

I can’t stand her goddamned friends
But i will tolerate them, even though i hate them
And i will put up with her parents
’cause she says i’ll not meet someone who is so kind and sweet
Ever again…

[chorus]

I’ve all my wisdom teeth
Two up top, two beneath
And yet i’ll recognise
My mouth says things that aren’t so wise
But when i sing my darling’s praise
I know i’m right, or close anyways
For she’s a gem upon this earth
I know to me she will return

[chorus]

Yeah she’ll be coming back…soon
