Do do do do
Take you back
Take you back
Do do do do
Take you back
Well I been told by
some people and they allsay to take you back
take you back like before.
I don't call this a reason,
I just call it believin in myself.
Take you back
Do do do do
Take you back
Well push me back,
you're pushin me too far,
I love you for
what I saw before,
I speak to you and I've held you,
but I could not tell you I love you, you, you, you, you, you, you.
Well you put me down,
you put me down real nice,
this love affair
is takin the largest slice from my life
as I see it
startin out
gonna have more me and girl
Take you back
Do do do doif I just take you back
Do do do do
If I just push you back
Do do do do
If I just love you back.
Do do do do
The lyrics to Valentine's "Take You Back" seem to be about a person who has been advised by others to get back together with someone they were previously involved with. The singer expresses their reluctance to push forward with this decision, despite feeling like they should. The lyrics suggest that the singer is still in love with the other person, but they don't feel confident enough to express this love.
The lines "Well, I've been told by some people, and they all say / To take you back like before" indicate that the singer has consulted with others about whether or not they should reconcile with their former partner. However, later lyrics "I speak to you and I've held you, / but I could not tell you I love you" suggest that the singer may lack the courage to be vulnerable with the other person.
The repetition of the phrase "take you back" throughout the song seems to reflect the singer's inner struggle to come to a final decision. Overall, the lyrics to "Take You Back" convey a sense of uncertainty and fear of rejection, as the singer grapples with the decision of whether or not to get back together with their ex.
