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)
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
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
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 in his arms.
All I want
All I need
All I want!
All I need!
Is one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Baby (baby) baby (baby) baby (baby!) Yeah
(I want you back)
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you in his arms. (I want you back)
Oh baby, I need one more chance, ha!
(To that I love you)
Oh, baby! Oh! Oh, oh! (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 (I want you back)
Ah, ah all i want
Ah, ah all i need
Ah, ah all i want
Ah, ah all i need
Ah, ah all i want, all i need
Baby, baby, baby yeah!
The Mini Pop Kids song "I Want You Back" is a cover of the hit song by The Jackson 5 from their 1969 album "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5." The lyrics of the song are about a man who realizes that he made a mistake by pushing away the person he truly loves and now wants them back. In the first verse, the man admits that he didn't value the person when he had her to himself, but now that she's with someone else, he wants her back. The chorus of the song is centered around the man pleading for one more chance to show the person he loves them and wants them back in his life. In the second verse, the man explains how he's been feeling since the person left, saying that he can't sleep and has been following her around. The chorus is repeated, with the man continuing to plead for one more chance.
