I Want You Back
The Duke's Men Lyrics

When I had you to myself, I didn′t want you around
I didn't realize how much I needed you until you were gone, but when we were together, there were times when I took you for granted.

Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
There were always other people around that I thought were more attractive and interesting, and I didn't appreciate you enough.

But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
After looking around, someone else chose you and realized your worth, even though it only took one look to see it.

Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
I regret my decision to let you go and I can't change the past, but I want another chance to make things right.

Oh baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
I am pleading with you to give me another opportunity to demonstrate my love and commitment to you.

Won′t you please let me back in your heart
I want you to forgive me and let me be a part of your life again.

Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
I now realize what a mistake I made by letting you go, and I'm expressing my regret and sadness about it.

But now since I've seen you it is on (I want you back)
After seeing you again, I realize that I still have feelings for you and I want to be with you once more.

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Without your love, I feel empty and alone, and I can't sleep or function properly.

Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
I want to prove to you that I am a better person now, and that I have learned from my past mistakes.

Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
I am so emotional and upset about losing you that I cry whenever I think of you or see you.

Following the girl I didn't even want around
I realize now that I was wrong to ignore you and that you were the one I truly needed all along.

Oh baby, all I need is one more chance (To show you that I love you)
I am still hoping and praying for another chance to prove my love and devotion to you.

All I want All I need All I want! All I need!
All I want and need is your love and forgiveness, and I will do anything to get it.

Forget what happened then (I want you back)
I want us to put the past behind us and start fresh, with a renewed commitment to each other.

Spare me of this cost (I want you back)
I don't want to pay the price of losing you forever, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win 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!
I am desperate to get you back and I want to prove to you that I've changed and that I will never take you for granted again. I want us to be together again and to start anew.
