Return Of The Mack Video (MV)




"Return of the Mack" is a song written and recorded by British R&B singer Mark Morrison, released by WEA and Atlantic as the third single from his debut album by the same name (1996) (contrary to the lyrics, this was not a 'comeback song'). The song was produced by Morrison with Phil Chill and Cutfather & Joe, and topped the UK Singles Chart a month after its release, then became a European and Australian hit.

The song's beat is sampled from the song "Genius of Love" by American band Tom Tom Club. "Games" by Chuckii Booker was also sampled, as well as fragments from "UFO" by ESG, "Rocket in the Pocket" by Cerrone, and "Feel The Heartbeat" by The Treacherous Three.

In the United States, it reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. The music video for the song, directed by Jake Nava, was released in the United Kingdom in March 1996 and in the United States in February 1997.

Billboard magazine featured "Return of the Mack" in their lists of "Billboard's Top Songs of the '90s" in 2019 and "500 Best Pop Songs of All Time" in 2023.

Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack Lyrics




Ooooh, come on. Ooh yeah.

Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did),
But I guess you didn't know,
As the sadest 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 real.

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.

Chorus [1]:

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.

Chorus [2]:

Return of the Mack,
Once again,
Return of the Mack,
Top of the world,
Return of the Mack,
Whatch my flow,
You know that I'll be back,
Here I go.

So, I'm back up in the game,
Running things to keep my swing,
Lettin' all the people know,
That I'm back to run the show,
'Cause what they didn't know was wrong,
And all the nasty things you've done,
So, baby, listen carefully,
While I sing my comeback song.

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.

Chorus [3]:

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),

[Interlude:]
Ahhhh, Mark,
Stop worrying about your big break.

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.

Chorus [1]:

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.

Chorus [2]:

Return of the Mack,
Once again,
Return of the Mack,
Top of the world,
Return of the Mack,
Whatch my flow,
You know that I'll be back,
Don't you know.

Return of the Mack..........
