I Want You Back
[NEW] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never really thought that you'd be the one to walk away and turn your back
Everything you said to me ain't true and I don't ever want you back
Get the fuck outta my life, I got you blocked out
Bad bitches saying that they want the cock now
Yo, I ain't gonna trip over some other bitch
Doing well by myself, and you didn't want this
Hate it or love it, I'm done with the thuggin' I'm done with the bitches who tryna take something
And yo, I got nothing I'm rolling these blunts and I'm thinking 'bout money and thinking 'bout hustling

And yo I got hustle, building my muscle for once in my life I be living it right
And thinking 'bout you had me losing my mind
You ripped me in two, and you left me behind
And yo, I got hustle
I'm building my muscle
Thinkin' 'bout you had me losing my mind
Thinkin' 'bout you had me losing my mind

I never really thought that you'd be, the one, to walk away and turn your back
Everything you said to me ain't true and I don't ever want you back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to [NEW]'s song "I Want You Back" express the singer's anger and hurt after a breakup. Through the lyrics, the singer states that they never expected their lover to walk away and leave them behind. The singer expresses that they do not want such a person back in their life, and they have blocked them out entirely. The singer further mocks the ex-partner by stating that they have other suitors (bad bitches saying they want the cock), but the singer is entirely content with their life.

The song goes on to express that the singer has transitioned from the street life and thuggin'. They no longer want to surround themselves with people who are only after something from them. Instead, the singer has a new focus on building their own wealth while smoking blunts. However, despite the new priorities, the singer finds themselves still thinking about the person who left them behind. The song's last lines repeat the opening line to emphasize the point that the singer is entirely done with the relationship and does not want the person back.

Line by Line Meaning

I never really thought that you'd be the one to walk away and turn your back
I never imagined that you were the type of person who would leave and abandon me.

Everything you said to me ain't true and I don't ever want you back
I realize that you lied to me and now I want nothing to do with you.

Get the fuck outta my life, I got you blocked out
I want you to leave me alone and never contact me again, I have already blocked you.

Bad bitches saying that they want the cock now
Women who were never interested in me before now want to be with me because of my success.

Yo, I ain't gonna trip over some other bitch
I am not going to worry or be upset over another woman who is trying to win my heart.

Doing well by myself, and you didn't want this
I am moving on and succeeding without you, which is something you never wanted for me.

Hate it or love it, I'm done with the thuggin' I'm done with the bitches who tryna take something
Whether you like it or not, I am finished with the gangster lifestyle and the women who only want me for my money and status.

And yo, I got nothing I'm rolling these blunts and I'm thinking 'bout money and thinking 'bout hustling
I have nothing to lose, so I am focusing on making money and building my career.

And yo I got hustle, building my muscle for once in my life I be living it right
I am putting in the effort and hard work to achieve my goals and living my life the way I want to.

And thinking 'bout you had me losing my mind
Reflecting on our relationship and your betrayal has caused me great emotional distress.

You ripped me in two, and you left me behind
Your actions tore me apart and caused me a great deal of pain, and now I am moving on without you.

And yo, I got hustle
I am driven and ambitious, and I am working hard to achieve my goals.

I'm building my muscle
I am becoming stronger, both physically and mentally, through my hard work and dedication.

Thinkin' 'bout you had me losing my mind
I was consumed with thoughts of you that were driving me crazy.

Thinkin' 'bout you had me losing my mind
Replaying our relationship in my head was causing me great anguish and distress.

Uh-huh, huh, huh
Just let me tell you now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
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, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh

Get back what I lost
Oh, baby, I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)

True dat, but I just came from a "One Bad Apple" by the Osmonds video, and no joke, little Donny be belting it out right there on Michael's level, every bit his equal. A blatant rip-off for sure, but an equal talent nonetheless. Blew my mind...

BUT, somewhere along their career path trajectories, Michael zigged, Donny zagged, and got left in the dust...

@@tb-qm3px His vocal control never changed from his early years. What happened is voice became excessively raspy and less resonant in his upper range due to vocal damage he suffered during his puberty years. He also lost a lot of elasticity in his vocal cords, which made for less dynamism in the voice (i.e., the ability to sing loud and soft without having to whisper). Had Motown managed him better between 72-76 and his health been better, the quality of his voice would've been preserved.

When this came out at the beginning of 1970, it blew everyone away. The song was so well done and MJ was such a cute kid. It was on the charts for months. I remember hearing it on my car radio coming home from HS. I would graduate in June and that song made the passage of time better! They would have several more hits that year!

@AfricanThinker86

Yeah, he was prodigy (FYI: he's also related to Stevie Wonder, another prodigy, on his mother's side). Thing is, post 1981, he basically plateaued as a singer. 1976 through 1981 were the years his voice was growing increasingly more powerful once again, shortly after coming out of puberty, but for whatever reason it stopped and began to slowly decline. I suspect the reason was health related since 1981 is approximately the year he began showing clear signs of vitiligo and lupus. He got better as an overall artist though and went on to do you already know what.
