It takes a fool to learn, it makes a fool to cry It takes a lot to lose and a love to die You came at me like a freight train Then you left a mess like a hurricane It's not like it was before so I want you back My sun don't shine no more so I want you back No one's knocking at my door so I want you back Oh oh I want you back I'd sell my soul to get you back again I'd hit you right on the long black train I'd hold my breath till I'd turn blue I'd do anything to get to you It ain't like it was before so I want you back My sun don't shine no more so I want you back No one's knocking at my door so I want you back Oh oh I want you back If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise I'll see you again on the other side There ain't no way to turn and run Don't you know it honey, you're the only one It ain't like it was before so I want you back My sun don't shine no more so I want you back No one's knocking at my door so I want you back Oh oh I want you back Oh oh I want you back Oh oh I want you back
