I Want You Back
Homecomings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please tell me, my heart breaking
we first met and a story
you smile and dance like shine
you don't see so I feel bad
can't you see it made me stay
I can't see when you pout to the face
to shine the we made good time night
but you don't see me in our eyes
but when you do see me I cry
but do you feel that way about me?
I can talk all night
you don't say good day
I can say goodbyayayayaye
you don't see so I feel bad
can't you see it made me stay
I can't see when you pout to the face
to shine the we made good time night
but you don't see me in our eyes
but when you do see me I cry
but do you feel that way about me?
I can talk all night
I won't see you, if you never see
you make me cry all the night
I want to see you today on the shining day
you call to me
to shine the we made good time night
but you don't see me in our eyes
but when you do see me I cry
but do you feel that way about me?
I can talk all night




you don't say good day
I can say goodbyayayayaye

Its suddenly, my heart breaking
we first met by the street
your smile is just like shine in the day

you don't see, so I feel bad
Can't you see, we made mistakes
I can't think where your heart to the place

the shine day, we met to the night
but you don't see me in a trice
I want you to think me a heart
but you don't change your feel about me
I can't forget now
you don't see me day
I can't say goodbye

you don't see, so I feel bad
Can't you see, we made mistakes
I can't think where your heart to the place

the shine day, we met to the night
but you don't see me in a trice
I want you to think me a heart
but you don't change your feel about me
I can't forget now

I don't think you never see
you make me fine on the night
I want to see you today on the shiny day
you don't think me

the shine day, we met to the night
but you don't see me in a trice
I want you to think me a heart
but you don't change your feel about me
I can't forget now
you don't see me day
I can't say goodbye
