Lyrics Hamilton - Youll Be Back

Youll Be Back is part of the Hamilton musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which tells the story of the founding of the United States through the life of Alexander Hamilton. It was inspired by British pop music styles, especially break-up love songs, mirroring the tumultuous relationship between the American colonies and King George III of England.

You say
The price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You cry
In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you’re making me mad
Remember despite our estrangement, I’m your man

You’ll be back, soon you’ll see
You’ll remember you belong to me
You’ll be back, time will tell
You’ll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion
To remind you of my love!

Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da…

You say
Our love is draining and you can’t go on!
You’ll be
The one complaining when I am go-ne!
And NO,
Don’t change the subject!
‘Cause you’re my favorite subject!
My sweet, submissive subject!
My loyal, royal subject!
Forever
And ever
And ever, and ever, and ever…

You’ll be back, like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love, for your praise
And I’ll love ya ’til my dying days
When you’re gone, I’ll go mad
So don’t throw away this thing we had
‘Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family…
To remind you of my love!

Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat - Everybody!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da da da da
Dat dat da ya da!
