I Want You Back
Matthaios Lyrics

Matthaios be wonderin'
Matthaios is wondering

Baby I want you back right now (baby I want you back right now)
Matthaios wants his ex-girlfriend back immediately

Yeah the way you love can you teach me how (yeah the way you love can you teach me how)
Matthaios is impressed with the way his ex-girlfriend loves and wants her to teach him how to love the same way

Di mahapayang-gatang okay lang sa akin Kasi pag tapos na magalit ika'y bumabawi Kahit tinotopak mahal pa rin palagi Kaya please come back to me
Matthaios doesn't mind his ex-girlfriend's temper, and he knows that she always makes up for it. He still loves her and wants her to come back to him

Siguro nga ay lasing lang ako Kaya ako nagkakagan'to (yes sir) Pero alam naman natin na hanggang ngayon ay ikaw pa rin
Matthaios thinks that he might just be drunk, but he knows that he still loves his ex-girlfriend

Pero hindi ibig sabihin nun ay dapat magbalikan Sinubukan na dati pero puro alitan Ayoko maging parang sirang plaka Paulit-ulit kahit hindi tinadhana
Matthaios knows that just because he still loves his ex-girlfriend, it doesn't mean that they should get back together. They've tried before, but it always ends up in arguments. He doesn't want to keep repeating the same unhealthy pattern

Okay na ako sa gan'to (ah yes sir) Masaya na alaala ay binulsa ko (yey) Maging tayo muli ay mahirap na konsepto Masakit parang kinagat ako ng insekto (yeh yuh) Kailangan tanggapin na hanggang lingon na lang tayo Kaya ito aawit na lang ako
Matthaios is okay with the situation as it is. He's happy with the memories he has. Getting back together is a difficult concept for him, and it hurts him like a bug bite. He knows that they might just have to accept that they will never get back together, so he'll just sing about it

Kinukunsiti ko palagi ang sarili ko Buhay ko na naging piko muling babalik ako sa bahay mo (ah)
Matthaios is always worrying about himself. He feels like his life has been like a game of pick-up sticks, and he wants to go back to his ex-girlfriend's house

Andiyan na siya nilabasan na si tanga ng pagmamahal niya Babalik-balikan lang pala parang pelikula oy Ano ba naman 'yan bhie ba't 'di ka mapakali
Matthaios sees that his ex-girlfriend has moved on and even called him dumb for loving her. He realizes that their relationship was only memorable like a movie. He wonders why his ex-girlfriend can't seem to sit still

Gutom ka ba gusto mo ba mag-Jollibee Puro paikot tayong dalawa parang ferris wheel nakakahilong kasama ka (ah)
Matthaios asks his ex-girlfriend if she's hungry and wants to go to Jollibee. He feels like their relationship was like a Ferris wheel that made him dizzy, but he enjoyed being with her

Ayoko na sa 'yo pero ika'y tuloy pa rin sa pagtakbo sa isip ko Sabi ko naman iiwasan na kita pero ika'y tuloy pa rin sa pagbida (sa pagbida) Sa akin ika'y sa akin walang iba mahal ikaw lang talaga peksman pwede pa-kiss ka sa panga
Matthaios doesn't want his ex-girlfriend anymore, but she's always on his mind. He said he would avoid her, but she's still in his life. He professes that he loves only her and wants to kiss her

Sana all sana true Pinakuryente mo ang puso ko na para kang si Pikachu wah (pika-pika) Alam mo pre siguro kaya mo 'yan nasasabi kasi lasing ka lang Hindi ako lasing pre Sure ka (oo men eh) Kasi ako kung ex ko makakausap ko gan'to sasabihin ko
Matthaios wishes that all love is like his love for his ex-girlfriend. He says that his ex-girlfriend shocked his heart like Pikachu. His friend thinks he's drunk, but Matthaios assures him that he's sober. If his friend were in his shoes, he says he would feel the same way

Gusto ko man na bumalik ka 'di na swak talaga Maliit na nga yung apoy nililiyaban mo pa Parang ayaw mo ng gabi na walang drama Ginawa mo relasyon nating telenovela 'Di ko sinasabi na wala akong mali Pero karamihan ng mali ay galing sa 'yo bhe Kaya ko lang naman nasulat ang kantang 'to Iniisip pano ko natuloy ang ating kwento
Matthaios admits that he wants his ex-girlfriend back, but it won't be the same. He feels like she started a fire even though it was already small. She doesn't seem to want a peaceful relationship. Their relationship was like a telenovela. He acknowledges that he's not blameless, but most of the mistakes were because of her. He wrote this song thinking about how their story ended

Uy teka lang sa'n na ba Bakit ba nagpaakit ka na sa kanya (sa kanya) Ayoko na talaga kapag walang musika Buhay ko'y 'yong ipininta ikaw na nga ikaw na nga (ikaw na nga)
Matthaios interrupts himself and asks where he was. He wonders why his ex-girlfriend played games with him. He doesn't want a life without music. He feels like his life is a painting, and she's the only one who fits in it

Do re mi fa so la ti do Minahal ako pero iniwan din sa dulo Hawak mo na lumipad pa na parang lobo Miss na miss ko na ang yakap mo mahal kong oso
Matthaios compares their love to the notes of the scale. She loved him, but she left him in the end. She had him, but she still flew away like a kite. He misses her embrace like a beloved teddy bear

Lilingunin pero 'di babalikan lilingunin pero 'di babalikan Niyakap ko na ang aking nakaraan niyakap ko na ang aking nakaraan Kaya please come back to me (come back to me) Come back to me You already know Midas Records
Matthaios knows that looking back won't change anything, but he can't help but look back. He has already embraced his past. He pleads with his ex-girlfriend to come back to him. He reminds listeners that he is under Midas Records.
