I Want You Back
Jackson 5 (Jackson Michael) Lyrics

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
When you were mine, I didn't appreciate you and didn't really care about being around you

Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
You were so beautiful that you always stood out in a crowd, which made it difficult for me to hold onto you

But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
Someone else noticed how amazing you are and chose you with just one look, before I even realized how much I wanted you

Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Sadly, I didn't realize how much I truly wanted you until it was way too late for me to try to win you back

Oh baby, give me one more chance
Please give me another opportunity to make things right between us

(To show you that I love you)
I want to prove my love to you

Won't you please let me back in your heart
Please give me another chance to be with you and to love you

Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
I realize now that I made a big mistake by letting you go, and I was too foolish to see that back then

(Let you go, baby)
I let you go even though I should have held onto you tightly

But now since I've seen you it is on
But now that I've seen you again, I know that I can't live without you

(I want you back)
I want you back in my life, because you're everything to me

Ooh ooh baby
Oh baby, please consider my request

(I want you back)
I want you back in my life

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm really serious about wanting you back

Na na na na
I can't stop thinking about you

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Living without your love has been extremely difficult for me, and I haven't been able to sleep well at night

Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Let me prove to you that I can make decisions that are good for our relationship

Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Everywhere you go, I find myself crying and longing for you

Following the girl I didn't even want around
I'm now following you, the girl I didn't want before, because I realize how much I need you in my life

Let me tell ya now
Listen to me carefully

All I want
All I truly desire

All I need
All I really need to be happy

All I want!
I want nothing more than this

All I need!
I need this to be happy

Oh, just one more chance
Please give me one last opportunity to make things right

Baby baby baby baby baby baby!
I'm really begging you to give me another chance

Forget what happened then
Let's forget about our past mistakes and start afresh

(I want you back)
I really want to be with you again

And let me live again!
Please give me the chance to live again, with you by my side

Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
I was so foolish to let you slip away from me, and I regret it deeply

But now since I've seen you it is on
But now that I've seen you again, I know that I can't live without you

(I want you back)
I really want to be with you again, more than anything else in this world

Spare me of this cost
Please don't make me pay for my past mistakes

(I want you back)
I really want to be with you again

Give me back what I lost!
Please give me back the love and happiness that I lost when I let you go

Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
I need one more chance, please

I'd show you that I love you
I promise to prove my love to you

Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
Please listen to me, baby, because I need you so much

I want you back!
I want you to come back to me, and to never leave my side again

I want you back!
I want you to return to me, so that we can start afresh and be happy once again
