Want You Back
Cher Lloyd Lyrics

Hey, boy you never had much game
The singer believes the boy lacked charisma or charm.

Thought I needed to upgrade
The singer thought the boy was not good enough and needed an improvement.

So I went and walked away way way
The singer chose to leave the relationship and moved on.

Now, I see you've been hanging out
The artist noticed the boy spending time with someone else.

With that other girl in town
The boy is seen with another girl who lives nearby.

Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
The boy and girl seem ridiculous or foolish together.

Remember all the things that you and I did first?
The singer reminds the boy of their shared past experiences.

And now you're doing them with her
The boy is now sharing similar experiences with the other girl.

You got me, got me like this
The artist feels affected by the boy's actions and is hurt or upset.

And now you're taking her to every restaurant
The boy is seen with the other girl in many different places.

And everywhere we went, come on!
The boy and speaker went to many of these same places together in the past.

Boy you can say anything you want
The artist is not affected by the boy's words or excuses.

I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
The singer still desires the boy and does not want anyone else to have him.

I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
The singer expected the boy to be upset or emotional after the breakup.

Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
The singer feels regret or sadness seeing the boy happy without her.

Please, this ain't even jealousy
The artist does not believe her feelings are rooted in jealousy.

She ain't got a thing on me
The artist believes she is better than the other girl.

Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
The singer critiques the other girl's fashion sense.

You clearly didn't think this through
The singer believes the boy did not consider the consequences of his actions.

If what I've been told is true
The artist has heard information from others and is unsure if it is accurate.

You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
The artist believes the boy will regret his actions and attempt to return to her.

Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine
The artist believed the boy would always be hers.

When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
The singer reminisces about their last physical interaction.

Ooh, and you might be with her
The artist acknowledges the boy's current relationship.

But I still had you first uh oh uh oh
The singer places value on being the first to experience a relationship with the boy.

Wa-want you, want you back
The singer desires the boy to return to her.

Oh, I want you back
The singer again expresses her desire for the boy to return to her.
