Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Oh I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell ya now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on
All I want
All I need
All I want
All I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby baby baby baby baby baby
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
And let me live again
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cost
(I want you back)
Give me back what I lost
Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
I'd show you that I love you
Baby, oh Baby, oh Baby, oh
I want you back
I want you back

However, their tune changes when they see their ex with someone else, and they realize the mistake they made. They plead for another chance to show their love and make things right, citing their sleepless nights and tear-stained walkways as evidence of their love and longing.

@@WrldDon Souls, remember this verse:
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Which clears out the question(complains) that bible is man written, IT IS NOT.
Our sinful nature allows not to write any which were written into the bible.
Nor can any man see future, unless GOD has given him visions.
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Those are the days when this kind of entertainment was spectacular to me. When he was a little kid, Mikey, I was a kid, too. He was only just a few younger years to me. I survived the years that my va doctors put me on medication for various things including the strong things to relax like Michael. He was quite Advanced and when he came out with the song Man in the Mirror I didn't/couldn't get my head around that too fast back then.
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar on
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?😯

People cry he was not a great musician as he didn't played instruments, like bruhhh he literally played all the elements of instruments with his vocals he didn't need no instruments to get his music out. He would simply compose them in his mind and use his iconic voice to tell the instrumentalist to play accordingly. He was the music embodied in a human form, which is higher than any great or Legendary musician. Greatest of all time Michael Jackson 👑🔥💯🔊 influence doesn't lie.

There's a video of him playing the piano, simple but playing
@citypopradioFM
That's a wild statement since the biggest pros and producers in the industry have universally spoken about how Michael was like Brian Wilson on the boards in the studio. He had a special ear, he was a perfectionist, and he knew music deeper than all of them.
@user-gq8qu9cp8c
Don't forget people his range also!!!
@menswearchronicles
No need no instruments ❤️ not all great singers meant to be musicians not all great musicians meant to be great singers, maybe some composers are good at making music but can't sing em.
