I Want You Back Songtext

von Graham Parker

Let me tell you now

When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make me
Stand up in a crowd

Someone picked you from the bunch
That was all it took
And now it's much too late for me
To take a second look

Oh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back

Oh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, baby, I want you back
Oh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, baby

Tried to live without your love
One of those sleepless nights
But that just shows you, girl
That I know wrong from right

And every street you walk down
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following you, girl
I can feel you all around
Let me tell you now

Oh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms

You're all I want
You're all I want

You're all I need, one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?

Oh, darling, I must have been blind
To let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms

Forget what happened then
And let me live again

One more chance, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby

Forget about the cost
And give back what I lost

Give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms
Let me tell you baby

Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
Oh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, baby, I want you back
