Can You Take Me Back Lyrics
Can you take me back where I came from?
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from?
Brother, can you take me back?
Can you take me back?

Mm, can you take me where I came from?
Can you take me back?

This isn't it's own song. It's at the end of Cry Baby Cry.

This was obviously Paul recording a song that just got stuck on the end of "Cry Baby Cry." Whether they did it on purpose or not, I'm not too sure.

I'm pretty sure this was a song in the works, but they just decided to put it on thew end of cry baby cry. Maybe because cry baby cry was very short.

I thought it was another "Paul is dead" Beatles joke.....Don't know for sure, but think about it.

could be a tie-in to the mentioning of the twelve o' clock seance in Cry Baby Cry, and Paul is the voice.......think about it......

Dr. Robert = John Lennon. The song Dr. Robert off Revelver is about how Lennon used to distribute the drugs to the rest of the band. Hence call on Dr. Robert. So with that statement this song explains itself. Listen for the part after this where if you turn the volume up you can hear george martin complaining about someone not bringing him wine.

"Robert can you take me back?"
might, I repeat "might" be a reference to the "Doctor Robert" who famously introduced the Beatles to LSD in 1965.
Paul might be lamenting the additional knowledge that often comes with the use of LSD and the accompanying additional sense of responsibility experienced by conscientious users.
The Lennon/McCartney song "Doctor Robert" penned a few years earlier was certainly more celebratory.

Dr. Robert was a real doctor, and definitely not a pseudonym for John Lennon.

BTW, this song fragment has nothing to do with "Cry Baby Cry" except that it sounded good in succession to the longer song.
Different author - similar mood.

It's not "Robert" it's "brother" He's talking about John.

I thought this was a "Paul is dead" reference. I really don't like or believe in the Paul is dead thing, but that's what I always thought.
And now, to face my fear of the gross creepy theory, I turn up "Can You Take Me Back" really loudly every time I hear it on my iPod.

It is actually a song in itself. It was another song that Paul had written that was never recorded. Paul still liked it enough to stick it at the end of "Cry Baby Cry". Paul did the same thing on his first solo album. The is a song titled "Hot As Sun / Glasses" where at the end he sings "Suicide, musin't do..." The song, called "Suicide" was a song that he had written when he was a teen, but never released properly.
