10 Best Songs About Wanting To Get Back Together

Music is a good way to get back lost love and playing one of the ten best songs about wanting to get back together is a good way to do just that. Lust, lost love and a need for consistence and comfort are all reasons for wanting to get back together. 

1. "Baby Come Back" by Hall and Oates. The ultimate pop duo offers a plea to get back together in this famous tune. The lyrics talk about trying to do things to forget the memories, but the chorus explains, "There was something in everything about you." The tune, written by Peter Beckett and John Charles Crowley II, ends with "I was wrong and I just can't live without you." 
2. "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. The lyrics of this song celebrate a lost love that Gabriel wants to rekindle. He's focused on the woman's perception of him and he wants to live up to the heat of the relationship. The chorus pleads that he wants to see and touch the light "in your eyes." 
3. "Hate That I Love You" by Rihanna and Ne-Yo. This is a song about the yin and yang of love. The chorus goes: "That's how much I need you and I can't stand you."  Even though the singer is captivated by the woman, oddly, the song ends with "I hate that I love you so."
4. "Love Has No Pride" by Bonnie Raitt. This tune is about a woman who just can't get enough of bad treatment and keeps returning again for more of the same. 
5. "Shot to the Heart" by  Lil' Wayne and Rick Ross. The chorus by Lil' Wayne states "Since I lost you, I'm lost, too" and the rest of the song is a plea to get back together. 
6. "Where Did Our Love Go?" by the Supremes. This tune, from the fantastic songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland, Jr., leaves the question up in the air. Diana sings "Don't you want me no more?" but it's clear that she wants to get back together again. She's got that "yearning, burning, yearning, feeling inside me." With this melody, this top ten best song about wanting to get back together again never gets old. 
7. "Still the One" by Orleans. The ultimate elevator or grocery store tune. The singer leaves and continues to think about the laughing, fun and love that the two had together. Even though the first verse claims "Sometimes I never want to see you again," and the singer heads out when the winter came, the verse claims that the singer comes back to a love that's "going gold" as the two grow old. Cheesy, but nice at the same time.
8. "You Were On My Mind" by the We Five. "I got wounds to bind" is one of the lyrics from this rhythm classics from a 1960s group. The harmony is catchy and the chorus reminds the listener that the person weighs heavy on the mind. 
9. "I Want You Back" by the Jackson Five, aka the Jackson 5. When the young Michael Jackson sings, "Baby give me one more chance," the dance moves increase and the chorus repeats over again, "I want you back."
10. "Call Me (Come Back Home)" by Al Green. This song from the soul master Al Green has a chorus that simply repeats "Call me, come back home." Green is willing to take her back no matter what happened. The most interesting line is the unique rhyme in "if you find you's a long way from home; and if somebody's doing you wrong; just call me baby; come back home."
