Want You Back
US5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were more than just friends
I never thought it would end
I want you back
I used to look in your eyes
And I felt so alive
How could I be so blind
The day you got up and left
Without you, I'll go crazy
Oh girl, I just can't forget
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
I want you back in my life
I swear I'll never pretend
If only you'd understand
I want you back
I was a fool to believe
You would stay in my life
After all that I've done
Girl I just cannot forget
The day you got up and left
Without you, I'll go crazy
Oh girl, I just can't forget
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
Girl I can't forget
If only you'd come back in my life
You're all that I ever needed girl
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back (I want you back)
Girl I need a second chance
I want you back (I want you back)
Gotta make you understand
I want you back (I want you back)
Somehow I can't let you go
If there is a way
I want you back
I want you back
