See my girl seem to run away I thought shed only be here to stay But when she told me on the telephone That she wont be coming home Well I want you back I want you back In your eyes I have told you lies And your heart Ive torn apart Then I tell you I wont cause you pain Now Im wishing I had you again Well I want you back I want you back You can call me a mean old man I can say that I understand Thinking of you late last night Wishing that wed never fight Well I want you back I want you back I want you back Ahh Tell me that youll come back someday For I cant ever live this way Only living with what I lost Now Im only paying the cost Well I want you back I want you back I want you back
