I Want You Back
Michael Jackson Jackson 5 Lyrics

When I had you to myself
Back when you and I were together and I had you all to myself

I didn't want you around
I wasn't interested in being with you anymore

Those pretty faces always made you
I felt like you were always more interested in mixing with other people

Stand out in a crowd
You always seemed to be very popular and noticeable wherever you went

Then someone picked you from the bunch
But then someone else came along and showed an interest in you

One glance was all it took
All it took was one look from them and you were gone

Now it's much too late for me
It's too late for me now to try and win you back

To take a second look
To give you another chance

Oh, baby, give me one more chance
I'm asking you for one more opportunity to show you that I still love you

To show you that I love you
To demonstrate my love for you

Won't you please let me
Please allow me to

Back in your heart
Be a part of your heart again

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
I was foolish to have let you go, my love

Let you go baby
Allowed you to slip away from me, baby

Cause now since I see you it is all
But now that I see you again, all I can think of is you

I want you back
I want you to come back to me

Yes, I do now
I really mean it now

Oo oo baby
Oh, my dear baby

Trying to live without your love
It's been very hard for me to keep going without your love

Is one long sleepless night
I find myself unable to sleep because of the pain of not having you

Let me show you girl
Allow me to demonstrate to you, my dear

That I know wrong from right
That I have learned the difference between right and wrong

Every street you walk on
Whenever you walk down any street

I leave tear stains on the ground
I leave behind visible evidence of my sadness and heartbreak wherever I go

Following the girl
Stalking the girl

I didn't even want around.
Even though I didn't want you around before

Ah bah bah bah buh
n/a

All I want
All I truly want

Oh, just one more chance
I'm begging you for another chance

To show that I love you, baby!
So I can demonstrate my deep love for you, my dear

Forget what happened then
Let's try to put the past behind us

Oh, baby I was blind to let you go
Once again expressing regret for foolishly letting you go

Cause now since I see you it is all
Because now that I've seen you again, all I can think of is how much I want you back

Ah bah bah bah buh
n/a

All I need
All I truly need
