I Want You Back (Single Version) Lyrics
Cleopatra
Lyrics
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 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... naw...
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 give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please send me back in your heart
Abuh buh buh buh
ALL I WANT!
Abuh buh buh buh
ALL I NEED!
Abuh buh buh buh...
