I Want You Back
Don Julian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not suppose to be a fool

This I know

I just cant help myself

I just cant let you go
Everyone knows I've been tryin, to get you back,
And I'm not lyin' baby baby ohh baby I want you back
I want you back
I need you back I want you baby

All my love I gave to you, was there, no satisfaction
Girl, if that's not the case, then explain your action

GOD knows I've been tryin' to get you back,
And I'm not lyin' baby baby ohh baby I want you back
I want you back

It makes no difference just who, who you hurt
Because you treated me just like dirt 'cause

Everyone knows I've been tryin' to get you back,
And I'm not lyin' baby baby ohh baby I want you back
I want you back I need you back
I want you baby

All my love I gave to you, was there, no satisfaction
Girl, if that's not the case, then explain your action

Everyone knows I've been tryin' to get you back,
And I'm not lyin' baby baby ohh baby I want you back
I want you back I need you back
I want you baby
I want you back




I want you back I'm begging please please please come home
Baby ohh baby I want you back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "I Want You Back" by Don Julian & The Meadowlarks talk about a man who is desperately trying to get his lover back. He acknowledges that he is not supposed to be a fool and let her go, but he just can't help himself. He reminds her that he gave her all his love and attention, yet he got no satisfaction in return. He wants an explanation for her behavior and is willing to forgive her.


The song is filled with emotion and passion, and the lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand. The singer's pleading and yearning for his lover are evident. He admits that he doesn't care who she hurt, as long as she comes back to him. The repetition of the phrase, "baby baby ohh baby" reinforces the urgency of his plea. The song is a classic example of a lost love ballad and has become an iconic song for its genre.
