John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

Bring Back Your Love To Me Lyrics
John Hiatt
Darling if youve been a hurting
I dont care what it is
I wanna help for certain, but it takes more than a kiss
All this love and affection
Im feeling for you now
Send it back in my direction, girl
I can show you how
My love is coming on strong
And you know, youve been gone away too long
Bring back, bring back your lovin to me
Bring back, bring back your lovin to me
All that words that passed between us
Spoken in haste
Could have gone back and forth to venus
For all the time we waste
Staying angry at each other
Sometimes just for angers sake
I dont want no other lover
I got too much here at stake
Our love is worth fighting for
And you know it, even as you close that door
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back your lovin to me
Bright it right back here baby
Bring back, bring back your lovin to me
I want you sweet lovin right now
Every night I sit and watch for you, baby
I pray to God you havent found somebody else
But I could never care, like I care for you
When I hurt you girl, well I just cant stand myself
They say pride will be our downfall
Girl Ive swallowed mine
Im begging you, baby, come back
And I will tow the line
To the top of the eiffel tower
To the bottom of the sea
If it means just one more hour
Your love will shine on me
Our love is worth fighting for
And you know it, even as you close that door
Chorus
