I Want You Back
I WANT YOU BACK
Written and Composed by Gordy, Mizell, Perren ,and Richards
(From “DIANA ROSS PRESENTS THE
When I had you to myself
I didn’t want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Then 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 send me back in your heart
Oh darlin’ I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
I want you back
Yes I do now
I want you back
Oo oo baby
Yeah yeah… 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
Oh baby all I need one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won’t you please send 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
Abuh buh buh buh
All I want
Abuh buh buh buh
All I need
Abuh buh buh buh
All I want
Abuh buh buh buh
All I need
Oh darlin’ I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
Oh baby I need one more chance
To show you that I love you
I want you back
