Take Me Back
Backhouse Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've told you twenty times
I need to be with you
You're always on my mind
You gotta feel it to
I wanna treat you right
Just be a family
Well every day and night
That's where I wanna be

Well, baby will you take me back
Well there, I said it, I said it, I said it
Baby will you take me back?
Well there, I said it, I said it

I see you walk away
And leave me standing here
You really have to say
That much is very clear

So baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it
Baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it

Tell me why I've got to let you go
Break my heart in just a little more
Let's go out like we did before
Oh I just can't live without you

So baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it
Baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it
Baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it




Baby will you take me back
Well there I said it I said it I said it
