Lake Street Dive’s cover of “I Want You Back by The Jackson 5 is the third track off of their 2012 EP Fun Machine.
Their jazzier rendition of the song went viral when actor Kevin Bacon tweeted a video of them performing it on a Boston sidewalk. This was a big break for the band, as it brought them...
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh baby, give me one more chance (Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh baby (I want you back)
Ya, ya, ya, ya (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
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
Let me tell you now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance (Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
I Want You Back was written by Fonce Mizell & Berry Gordy & Deke Richards & Freddie Perren.
I Want You Back was produced by Lake Street Dive & Joe Bass.
Lake Street Dive released I Want You Back on Tue May 29 2012.
