Lyrics
They all come back
To the scene of the heartache
They all come back
One rainy day
They take your hand
And they tell you that they're sorry
They come back
But they never stay
They all return
Like those birds to Capistrano
They fly right back
Into your bed
They fit right in
Like the piece to some old puzzle
They return
But they never phone ahead
Trust me on this
You could say that I'm an expert
When it comes to men there's only one kind
They greet me with a kiss
And then it's like they never left
I'm either answering the door
Or else I'm closing it behind...
They all come back
Like the snow on Christmas morning
They fall in place
Without a sound
They warm your heart
Like some long-forgotten whisper
They come back
But they never stick around
They come back
But they never stick around
They come back
But they never stick around
