Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me tell ya now
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
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
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want to run
Let me tell you now
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(Back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Oh whoa oh

The song "I Want You Back" by Victoria Justice is a cover of The Jackson 5's original song. The lyrics are about regret and longing to have a lost love back. The singer realizes that she made a mistake in letting go of her love and now wants to make amends. The first verse talks about how the singer didn't appreciate her love when she had him to herself. She didn't want him around when other people were present because his good looks made him stand out. However, someone else made a move and now it's too late for the singer to have a second chance. The chorus is a plea for that second chance. The singer wants her love to know that she loves him and that she wants him back in her heart.
The second verse is about the pain and regret the singer is feeling after losing her love. She can't sleep without thinking about him and she realizes the error of her ways. She is following him around and leaving tear stains on the ground. The second chorus is also a plea for one more chance. The singer wants her love to know that she knows right from wrong and that she wants to make it right by him. The final verse and chorus repeat the same plea for a second chance. The singer acknowledges her mistake but wants her love to forget the past and give her one more chance to show him that she loves him.
