“Want U Back” is about how Lloyd broke up with a guy who seemed not to be good enough for her, but now that he’s moved on, she wants him back.
The song is the first track off of Cher’s debut studio album, Sticks and Stones, and was released in 2011. It was released as the lead single from the U.S....
[Intro]
Uh!
Mmm, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-ah (Ha-ha)
Uh!
[Verse 1]
Hey, boy, you never had much game
Thought I needed to upgrade
So I went and walked away-way-way (Uh!)
Now I seen you've been hangin' out
With that other girl in town
Lookin' like a pair of clowns, clowns, clowns (Uh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this (Uh!)
And now you're taking her to every restaurant?
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant?
You got me, got me like this (Uh!)
[Chorus]
Boy, you can say anythin' you wanna
I don't give a "sh-", no one else can have ya
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (Uh!)
I broke it off thinkin' you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like "sh-", lookin' at you flyin'
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (Uh!)
[Verse 2]
Please, this ain't even jealousy (Jealousy)
She ain't got a thing on me (A thing on me)
Tryna rock them ugly, jeans, jeans, jeans (Uh!)
You clearly didn't think this through (Yeah, yeah)
If what I've been told is true (Is it true?)
You'll be crawlin' back like, boo-hoo-hoo (Uh!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember all the things that you and I did first? (What, what?)
And now you're doin' them with her (With her)
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this (Like this) (Uh!)
And now you're takin' her to every restaurant? (Yeah, yeah)
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're takin' her to every restaurant?
You got me, got me like this (Uh!)
[Chorus]
Boy, you can say anythin' you wanna
I don't give a "sh-", no one else can have ya
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (Uh!)
I broke it off thinkin' you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like "sh-", lookin' at you flyin'
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (Uh!)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye, uh-oh, uh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And you might be with her
But I still had you first, uh-oh, uh-oh
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah
Yo
[Bridge]
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doin' them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doin' them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this (Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Boy, you can say anythin' you wanna
I don't give a "sh-", no one else can have ya (Ooh-ooh, have ya)
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (Ooh-oh, oh-oh, yeah)
I broke it off thinkin' you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like "sh-", lookin' at you flyin'
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back (I want you back) (Uh!)
[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) La-la-la-la-la
I want you back, I want you back
Wan-want you, want you back, yeah (Uh!), yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-a

Wan-want you, want you back (Uh!)
Do I sound like a helicopter? "Brrr"
