I Want You Back
Yu-Era Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I all this time
I was drowning in your thousand lies
I never liked the way you cried
hate to see you play me like a dice
I decide to say goodbye
let the bloody pain flow through my vein
Then you called and I replied
say something like I'll be alright
Where to hide my feelings
You pretend that you're too tired but you lied,
cause you never tried you never tried, you never tried
I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride
I want ya I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine
I want ya I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride
What if I dream at night
find myself alone too scared to cry
I couldn't spend all my time
thinking about it wonder what is why
So I decide to say goodbye
let the bloody pain flow through my vein
Then you called and I replied
I say something like
I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride
I want ya I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine
I want ya I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride
I want you back I want you be on my side
I want you back you are my sunshine
I want you back I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride
I want ya I want you be on my side
I want you back to be my sunshine




I want ya I want you just be mine
I want you back take me for a ride for a ride

Uh-huh, huh, huh
Just let me tell you now
Uh-huh
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
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to 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)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Trying 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 around
Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to 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, uh-huh
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need
Oh, just one more chance to show that I love you
Baby (baby)

Baby (baby)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
Let me live again
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms

Spare me of this cause
Get back what I lost
Oh, baby, I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)
I want you back, ha
I want you back
