Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one else could know this feeling coming over me, yeah
And I′ll take anything I'm reaching
Fruit that used to be here must be out of season
I feel like I′m fasting
Tied it to a brick though, threw it through the window
I just wanna lay here
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you but I know you only want yourself
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you even though you only want yourself
Future hits like kamikaze
No one even warned me
Nothing's gonna save mе this time
′Cause I′ve been busy playing mind gamеs
Just me and my mind frame
No one else allowed in
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you but I know you only want yourself
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you even though you only want yourself
And I know it's taking time
But we′re gonna make it back to the place we started at, yeah
And I know it's a lot, though
I know I′m an asshole
I know that I...
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you but I know you only want yourself
I want you back
I want it bad
I want you even though you only want yourself
I want you back (I want you back)
I want it bad (I want it bad)
I want you but I know you only want yourself (self)
I want you back (I want you back)
I want it bad (I want it bad)
I want you even though you only want yourself
The lyrics to wwoman's song "I Want You Back" express the feeling of emptiness and longing for someone who only cares about themselves. The first verse describes a sense of loneliness and desperation, with the singer feeling like they are missing something or searching for something that is no longer available. They are willing to take anything, but it seems that the thing they desire the most is out of season, as if the timing is wrong. The second verse is more aggressive, with the singer throwing a brick through a window and feeling like they are playing mind games. They are isolating themselves, not allowing anyone else in, and admitting that they know they are an asshole.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I want you back" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's desire for this person, even though they know that the other person only cares about themselves. It seems like the singer is willing to put up with being used or mistreated, just to have this person back in their life. The bridge suggests that there is hope for a reconciliation, but the singer acknowledges that it will take time and that they have made mistakes.
Overall, the lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, ranging from sadness and loneliness to anger and desperation. The singer seems to be struggling with their own feelings and desires, unable to let go of someone who may not be good for them.
