But Now I’m Back Songtext
von Pink Martini

My dear Maria
I′m here to see ya
Won't you please, please open the door
I brought ya flowers
Been waitin′ hours
Can't stand it anymore

So here's what happened
While you were nappin′
I just went out for a snack
I was feelin′ famished
And then I vanished...
But now I'm back

Now he′s back
Had a snack
Now he's back


My heart is burning
For that love of ours is yearning
For that sea of stars
Let me in so I can prove to you
That no one else
Can love you, girl
The way that I do

Oh, how I miss ya
I wanna kiss ya
And hold you close from dusk to dawn
So let′s just make up
And when you wake up
I promise not to be gone

You know I love ya
Dream only of ya
So please, please cut me some slack
I went away
Just a couple of days...
But now I'm back

Now he′s back
Cut him slack
Now he's back


Maria, baby,
I guess that maybe
You're still a little angry with me
But it′s getting late and the boys are waitin′
Gotta get something to eat

I better go now
I hope you know now
I love you, that's a fact
Gotta hurry
But don′t you worry, babe...
Cause I'll be back

He′ll be back
It's a fact
He′ll be back
It's a fact
He'll be back
It′s a fact
Don′t attack
It's a fact
He′ll be back
It's a fact
He′ be back
I'll be back
Its a fact
He′ll be back
It's a fact
He'll be back
