I Want You Back
方大同 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

HEY 我们好久没有摩擦

因为好久没有说话
人家说那 爱的火花
有过吗
我晓得
从前要聊的都聊了
现在没那种心跳了
最好彼此 不打扰的
睡觉了
在我心里的声音
是不是无病呻吟
想到热情曾经不冷静也不生硬
有些感觉没来对
就像杯白开水
是少了虚伪可是也少了点趣味
不断变化 要向前吗
可不可停下 或许 回到过去
不要沉默 做些甚么
别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
享受我们双手每天紧扣
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
就让这爱今后没有尽头
Girl you know what you mean to me
Do you recall how it used to be
When we first started it was like if we ever ever parted
we would be broken hearted
If this is a dream please wake me
Sometimes I even think that you hate me
I look up at the sky and cry heaven please take me
I guess if God brought us together girl
He thought we'd have a chance at forever girl
If that's the case maybe I should try harder
They say love is blind maybe true love is smarter
Baby girl I don't wanna be apart
Speak your mind and your thoughts and reveal your heart
I wanna know what you think what you want
If you want what I want
Cos I think I want you back girl
在我心里的声音
是不是无病呻吟
想到热情曾经不冷静也不生硬
有些感觉没来对
就像杯白开水
是少了虚伪可是也少了点趣味
不断变化 走向前吗
可不可停下 或许 回到过去
不要沉默 做些甚么
别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
享受我们双手每天紧扣
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
就让这爱今后没有尽头

不断变化 走向前吗
可不可停下 或许 回到过去
不要沉默 做些甚么
别让 当初 喜欢 变成 习惯
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
享受我们双手每天紧扣
I WANT YOU BACK GIRL




OH I WANT YOU BACK GIRL
就让这爱今后没有尽头

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 方大同's song "I Want You Back" expresses the singer's longing for his past love. The song begins by acknowledging that it has been a long time since the two have had any conflict or even spoken to each other. The singer reflects on whether the love they once shared had ever truly sparked. He reminisces about how they used to talk about everything, but now they have lost that connection. He expresses the desire for them to not disturb each other and just go to sleep. The singer wonders if the voice he hears in his head is just him complaining or if it's actually a sign of his longing for his past love.


The second verse of the song begins with the singer addressing the girl directly, asking her if she remembers how their love used to be. He admits to feeling like their love was so strong that they would be broken-hearted if they ever parted. He wonders if this is all just a dream, and admits to feeling like the girl may even hate him. He then looks up to the sky and cries out for help, showing just how lost and confused he is. He concludes that maybe he needs to try harder to make their love work, and admits that true love may be smarter than they give it credit for. He asks the girl to reveal her heart to him and give him a chance to show her how much he still loves her.


Overall, the lyrics to "I Want You Back" convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for a lost love. The singer is uncertain about the way forward but is hopeful that their love can still be rekindled. The lyricist uses a range of metaphors - describing their relationship as feeling like "a cup of water is missing artificial but also lacking some fun". The lyrics are touching and heartfelt, and they are accompanied by an equally emotional melody that adds to the song's emotional depth.
