When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces in the crowd Always made you stand out
Then someone plucked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To get a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
To show me that I love you
Won't you please let me back to your heart
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
[ Instrumental break ]
So to living life without you girl
Is one long sleepless night
So let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk down
I leave tear drops on the ground
Searching for the girl
I didn't even want around
Oh baby give me one more chance
To show me that I love you
Won't you please let me back to your heart
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back
