I Want You Back
Tony Succar 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 was all it took
And 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 darlin' I was blind to let you go




(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

Line by Line Meaning

When I had you to myself
Back when we were together exclusively


I didn't want you around
I pushed you away and didn't appreciate your presence


Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
I was insecure about your beauty and attention you received from others


But someone picked you from the bunch
Someone else caught your eye and took you away


one glance was all it took
It only took one look for you to fall for someone else


And Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
I regret not realizing your value earlier and now it's too late to get you back


Oh baby give me one more chance
I'm willing to make amends and try again


(show you that I love you)
I want to prove my love to you


Won't you please let me
I'm asking for a chance to prove myself


(back in your heart)
I want to be back in your heart and life


Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
I realize now that I made a mistake in letting you go


(let you go baby)
I regret my decision to let you go


But now since I see you in his arms
Now that I see you with someone else, it hurts and I want you back even more

Tito Nieves is by far the most versatil salsa artist in the hispanic community of salsa singers. You got a winner track with this one! Keep the good work!

Tengo 11 años de edad y amo la salsa. Primera vez que escucha una salsa como ésta y para ser sincera, ¡es la mejor salsa de la historia! ¡Dios los bendice!
