[Verse 1]
Alright, need his energy back (It's not a want)
Alright, I've been missin' you bad (It's been too long)
Alright, alright, I had enough
Enough with this apathy (Apathy, yes)
[Verse 2]
How long have I gone astray? (I don't see the light)
My passion has died away (Couldn't even fight)
Oh, God, please, can we just go back?
Go back to those brighter days
[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn't right (Oh)
Yeah, I've been scandalous
I wasn't wise (Oh)
Such an antagonist
It wasn't nice, I know, but I learned a lot, baby
Let me handle this again
[Chorus]
I need you back (Yeah, yeah)
Never wanted nothin' like I want you tell me "You'll be mine"
I need you back (Yeah, yeah)
Now is not the time to die, I must be alive
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Now is not the time to die, I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Where have you gone? I'm all alone
Yes, I've been, yes, I've been here livin' on my own
How can I go on without you comin' home? Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn't right (Oh)
Yeah, I've been scandalous
I wasn't wise (Oh)
Such an antagonist
(It wasn't nice) I know but I learned a lot
Baby, let me handle this again
Just once again
[Chorus]
I need you back, babe (Yeah, yeah)
Never wanted nothin' like I want you tell me "You'll be mine"
I need you back (Yeah, yeah)
Now is not the time to die I must be alive
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Now is not the time to die, I'm alive
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Now is not the time to die, I'm alive
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Need you back in my life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Need you back, I'm alive
(I need you back)

Put simply, it’s my passion. I used to be more energetic and more passionate. I n...
この曲は私の燃え尽きた状態や、人生の新しい方向性への渇望を直接的に表現している。Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewisの1980年代後半から90年代前半のサウンドプロダクションにインスパイアされている。大きなビートと情熱的なメロディ、この最新のプロジェクトを始めるには、あのエネルギーを取り戻す必要があった。アルバムの中で最もパーソナルな曲といえる。
