This time
Baby you're the only thing that's been
On my mind
Ever since you left I've been a mess
(You won't answer your phone)
I'll say it once and I'll leave you alone
But I gotta let you know
I wanna get back
To the old days
When the phone would ring
And I knew it was you
I wanna talk back
And get yelled at
Fight for nothing
Like we used to
Oh, kiss me
Like you mean it
Like you miss me
Cause I know you do
I wanna get back
Get back
With you
Don't look at me that way
I see it in your
Eyes
Don't worry about me
I've been
Fine
I'm not gonna lie
I've been a mess
Since you left
And every time I see you
It gets more and more intense
I wanna get back
To the old days
When the phone would ring
And I knew it was you
I wanna talk back
And get yelled at
Fight for nothing
Like we used to
Oh, kiss me
Like you mean it
Like you miss me
Cause I know you do
I wanna get back
Get back
With you
You were the only one I wanted
And you were the first one I fell for
You're the only one that im in need of
And I don't want to be lonely anymore
I wanna get back
To the old days
When the phone would ring
And I knew it was you
I wanna talk back
And get yelled at
Fight for nothing
Like we used to
Oh, kiss me
Like you mean it
Like you miss me
Cause I know you do
I wanna get back
Get back
With you
(Get back)
Get back
(Get back)
Get back
(Get back)
Get back
(Get back)
Get back
Oh, kiss me
Like you mean it
Like you miss me
Cause I know that you do
I wanna get back
Get back
I wanna get back
Get back
I wanna get back
Get back
Get back
Yeah!

Agree. I always believe Demi was meant to be a rockstar, but she has turned into a popstar now.
She would've gone into the same list as Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Michelle Branch and Ashlee Simpson.
