Want You Back
于文文 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I all this time
I was drowning in your thousand lies
I never liked the way you cried
Hate to see you play me like a dice

I decide to say goodbye
Let the bloody pain flow through my vein
Then you called and I replied
Say something like I'll be alright

Where to hide my feelings
You pretend that you're too tired but you lied,
Cause you never tried you never tried, you never tried

I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride

I want ya... I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine
I want ya... I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride

What if I dream at night
Find myself alone too scared to cry
I couldn't spend all my time
Thinking about it wonder what is why

So I decide to say goodbye
Let the bloody pain flow through my vein
Then you called and I replied
I say something like

I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride

I want ya... I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine
I want ya... I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride

I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride

I want ya... I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine




I want ya... I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride

@jjlin2000

文文彈吉他就是帥,這首也好聽

@Bundy714

Just watched the video of Kelly with Peter Frampton, and came here to see how things were going with Kelly. WOW......Great writing, great playing, absolutely beautiful voice, and stunning good looks.....that's the complete package. Heck, she's even an actress. I wish she did more stuff in English, but I can't blame her for concentrating on her home country and language. She is really talented and beautiful. Wishing her all the success and happiness in the world.

@dai_van3232

@tommy0715
