Back to Me Liedtext

Take me back, don’t leave me
Don’t be bad, don’t hurt me
Listen to me when I say
I know what you did so
When you said you let go
Did you ever think of me?
 
But it’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine
[x2]
 
I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently,
Don’t you come back to me?
I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently
Come back to me... to me
 
There is something different
In the way you’re speaking
Now you’re harder to believe
I can tell you’re distant
And I know the reason
Did you think that I won’t see?
 
But it’s going through my mind
That she’s always in your mind
While I keep you there in mine
[x2]
 
I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently,
Don’t you come back to me?
[x2]
 
Give me a reason why you said good-bye
Give me a reason for the lonely nights
Give me a reason why you did that
No need to fall on your knees
 
I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently,
Don’t you come back to me?
I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently
Come back to me, to me
 
Come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me

Part of this is wrong.

This:
"I’m now at doubt
That heart has ever been found
So wait patiently
Don’t you come back to me?"

Is actually:
"I’m not a dog
That all he’s ever been taught
Is to wait patiently,
Don’t you come back to me."

Can't listen to the song on this computer but the suggestion makes a lot more sense. "At doubt" isn't proper English (you can be "in doubt"), and "That heart has ever been found" sounds odd, too.

I'm not sure where google gets the lyrics from, but that's not what the artist sings.
I'll give you an example where she sings it in 5 different styles, live:

The hip-hop version is the most obvious one as she slows it down a bit and the words are pronounced stronger.

Google gets the lyrics from the composers, their names are mentioned in the footer, they wouldn't post something without a safe source. :) Don't worry about it, the lyrics are right.

Wh... what do you mean?
The singer is one of the composers: chirinciuc ion (Vanotek), popescu ileana-maria (Eneli)
Google can't know the lyrics better then the composer.
We can't just pretend the lyrics are something different than what is being sung.
I don't have a facebook account, but if you do you can ask her there to clarify this for you.

Google gets the lyrics from different sources. Directly from the composers would be a rare exception. Even the official album liner notes are sometimes not correct, so except from the artist making a personal statement, the best source is still your ears. ;)

After your comment and consulting with other translators I updated the lyrics.
