Ooooh, come on. Ooh yeah.
Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn’t know, as the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart that I had to come again
And show you that I’m with
Yes the breakup is inevitable and Morrison sees it coming before his baby does. He has set the stage for tragedy beyond mere mortal capacity.
You lied to me
All those times I said that I loved you
You lied to me
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
You lied to me
Even though you know I’d die for you
You lied to me
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried
Morrison is venting his anger and frustrations towards his significant other for obvious deceit and…lies.
Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Come on Return of the Mack
Oh, my god You know that I’ll be back
Here I am
Return of the Mack
Once again Return of the Mack
Top of the world Return of the Mack
Watch my flow You know that I’ll be back
Here I go
Now the verse is where a leap of logic must be took. Clearly, Morrison himself is not - rather hasn’t been a Mack for years. Now that his lover has dooped, or “Macked” on him, he feels as if returning to his old “Mack” ways will help him deal with the loss and emptiness he is experiencing.
So, I’m back up in the game Running things like half my swing
Lettin’ all the people know That I’m back to run the show
‘Cause what you did you know was wrong
And all the nasty things you’ve done
So, baby, listen carefully While I sing my comeback song
Morrison is back in full Mack-mode. He is kicking ass and taking names.
You lied to me Cause she said she’d never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I’d never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do
And here is the one gaping paradox and flaw in this entire opus. Morrison claims he’s a Mack again, yet he’s wretching all over town - or to his baby about how he himself got played. Clearly, this is not typical Mack behavior.
Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Hold on Return of the Mack
Don’t you know You know that I’ll be back (Here I go)
Return of the Mack Oh, little girl
Return of the Mack Once more, girl
Return of the Mack Up and down
You know that I’ll be back round and round
Ahhhh, Mark
Stop worrying about your big break
Morrisson sees and recognizes that he’s got to stop churning up all of this pain. As soon as he stops, he will be able to move on and follow the path of the rightious Mack.
You lied to me Cause he said she’d never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I’d never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do
But he can’t do it…the pain is too much. He must sing about it one more time.
Return of the Mack It is
Return of the Mack Come on
Return of the Mack Oh, my god You know that I’ll be back
Here I am
Return of the Mack Once again
Return of the Mack Top of the world
Return of the Mack Watch my flow
You know that I’ll be back
Don’t you know.
Return of the Mack……….
That’s right, world. Mark Morrison will be back, once again, top of the world, watch his flow. Don’t you know?
I was just listening to Mark Morrison - Return of The Mack
