I spend hours on the telephone, trying to get a line
When I finally got through to you, well you said you were just fine
We joked about the weather, you said it always seemed to rain
I don't care about the weather, 'cos I want you back again
I want you back again
I couldn't think of what to say, I wished I'd planned ahead
For all the things that burned inside, would have to go unsaid
And you asked if I'd been traveling and lately where I'd been
Well lately I've been nowhere, 'cos I want you back again
I want you back again
We ran out of conversation and you made an excuse to go
You were going away for the weekend and you'd call me in a week or so
I put down the receiver, I started to write a song
The words came out so easy, 'cos I want you back again
I want you back again
I spend hours on the telephone, trying to get a line
When I finally got through to you, well you said you were just fine
We joked about the weather, you said it always seemed to rain
I don't care about the weather, 'cos I want you back again
I want you back again
