Let me hear ya now
Uh, huh
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Someone picked you from that bunch
One glance was all it took
But now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms
(I want you back)
Yes, 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
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, boy
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following you, boy
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Oh, won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms, arms
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I need
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I need
(All I need is just one more chance)
(To show you that I love you, baby)
Baby
(Baby)
Baby
(Baby)
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
Let me live again
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
'Cause now since I see you
In her arms
I want you back
(Spare me of this cause)
I want you back
(Give back what I lost)
Oh, baby, I need one more chance
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
(I want you back)
(Forget what happened then)
I want you back
(Let me live again)
Oh, baby
The lyrics to Sheryl Crow's song "I Want You Back" expresses the regret and desperation a person feels after realizing they made a mistake and want to be with their former lover again. The first verse explains how the person didn't appreciate their lover when they had them, but now that they see them with someone else, they regret losing them. The chorus repeats the line "I want you back" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of their desire. The second verse clarifies how the person is struggling to move on and can't stop thinking about their ex. The bridge repeats the plea for a chance to be back with their ex.
Overall, the song illustrates how love can make us blind and foolish, leading us to make terrible mistakes. It also shows how powerful the emotions of regret and longing can be when it comes to love. The repetition of the chorus and the use of the word "baby" throughout the song add a sense of vulnerability and desperation that many people can relate to.

@manz7860
He sounds just as great live compared to his recordings. Insane talent
@WWAHP
Yes, he is great singing live, and did you also notice, his voice is changing?
@unculturedmanofculture6837
@Christian Edwards puberty?
@michaelcaplin8969
This is all playback, but yeah, he probably was just as good live as in the studio.
