I Want You Back
Cavern Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’d give you anything, just to have you back again
Just to show my love for you never faded away

I just got scared and I ran away,
But now I wish that I had stayed
Cause if I did I could hear you say “i love you” again

I think about you day and night
And wondering if there’s a chance you might
Take me back into your heart
Oh honey, I don’t want to be apart

I realize the mistakes I made
And now I’m wondering if there’s a chance I can save
The love we used to have that was so good

Now I don’t know if you’d take me back again
But if you would I’d feel complete again
Cause nobody compares it’s true
I miss you and I still love you
I’m sorry, won’t you please take me back again

I don’t know how to get over you
I’ve tried so many times
But something pulls me back to you
And keeps you on my mind

I want you back
I want you back




I want you back
I want you back again
