Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from a bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to go & take a second look
Oh,baby, give me one more chance
Won't you please let me back in your arms?
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go,
Now that I see you in her arms
I want you back
I want you back
Trying to live without your love is like one long sleepless night
Let me show you, boy, that I really know, I know wrong from right
Now every street you’re walkin’ on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Oh I followed a boy I didn't even want, I didn’t even want around
Oh,baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your arms?
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
To let you go baby
Now that I see you in her arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
