Same Name, Different Song: Vol. 5

If you're onto my game, this is more of the same. If you don't know the score, let me show you what for. These songs right here share a title, you see? But the songs are all different, it's plain as can be. This is part 5 – see, I've done 4 before these. And before this week's over, I may do even more these. Okay, so that last rhyme was forced if not absent. But let's not harp on that, 'cuz you know what I meant. I hope you'll enjoy these – I can't always tell. I like 'em, so even if you don't, oh well! ~ JH

1) "Come Back To Me"
