I Want You Back
Mika Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made 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

Yes darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now that I see you in his arms

Yes yes darling...
Yeah yeah baby...
Yeeeeah!

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepness 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

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Yes darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now that I see you in his arms

Cause all I want...
Is all I need...
Cause all I want...
Is all I need...

Yes, yes darlin'...
Please, please baby...

Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
But now that I see you in his arms

Yes, yes darlin'...

Please, please baby...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The song “I Want You Back” by Mika is a remixed version of the original song by the Jackson 5. Mika’s version is about a person who realizes too late that they are still in love with their ex-partner. The opening lyrics suggest that when the singer had their ex-partner to themselves, they did not appreciate the significant other's company. They were more interested in chasing after pretty faces. However, someone else realizes the value of the person and takes them away. Now, the singer realizes that they were foolish and wants another chance. The chorus is a plea for another opportunity to make things right.

The second verse reflects upon what has happened since they broke up. The singer admits that they have had a difficult time adjusting to life without their significant other. They illustrate this through the metaphor of leaving tear stains on the ground in the places where their ex-partner has walked. They want their partner to understand that they have learned their lesson and will do things differently next time. The singer pleads with their former partner to take them back, singing that “all I want is all I need."

The song touches on themes of regret, second chances, love, and loss. It is a song about reflection and realization, recognizing that sometimes we don't realize another person's worth until they are gone. The song's upbeat and catchy tone contrasts with the somewhat somber lyrics, which gives the song an interesting emotional depth.
