[Intro]
Ow
Mhm, mhm, wanna say it, wanna say it again
Mhm, listen, baby
[Verse 1]
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 is all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take second look
[Chorus]
Oh baby give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now I see you in his arms, I want you back
(I want you back)
[Post-Chorus]
I, I do now
(I want you back)
Oh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back)
Hey, hey now
[Verse 2]
Trying to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
(Yes it is, yes it is)
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
Listen
[Chorus]
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 darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now I see you in his arms, I want you back
(I want you back)
[Bridge]
A-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh)
A-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh)
A-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh)
A-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh)
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
(A-buh-buh-buh-buh)
All I need
(A-buh-buh-buh-buh)
All I want
(A-buh-buh-buh-buh)
[Outro]
All I need is one more chance
To show you that I love you
(Baby) Baby
(Baby) Oh baby
(Baby) I want you back
Forget what happened then (And let me live again)
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
'Cause now since I see you in his arms, I want you back
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause (Get back what I lost)
Oh baby, I need one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby (Baby)
Oh (Baby)
Baby, I want you back
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then (And let me live again)
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
'Cause now I see you in his arms, oh, I want you back
(I want you back)
