VERSE 2 as per VERSE ONE

Welcome back
We always could spot a friend, 
Welcome back
And I smile when I think how you must have been
And I know what a scene you were learning in
Was there something that made you come back again
And what could ever lead ya
(what could ever lead ya)
Back here where we need ya
(back here where we need ya)
Yeah, we tease him a lot cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Was there something that made you come back again
And what could ever lead ya

Yeah, we tease him a lot cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
