I Want You Back Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh huh huh, let me tell you now, uh huh

[Verse 1]
When I had you to myself, I did one trip around
Those bitter 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 delight for me, take a second look

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your hands)
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go baby)
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)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Now, now, now, now

[Verse 2]
Trying to live without your love is one long, stupid night
Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right
Every step you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Oh, followin' the girl, I didn't even wander out
Let me tell you now
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your hands)
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go baby)
And now since I see you in his arms, uh huh


[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
All I want, all I need
All I need!

Oh, give me one more chance (Tell you that I love you)
Baby (Baby)
Baby (Baby)
Baby (I want you back)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
Let me live again

[Outro]
Tell him I need one more chance
To tell you that I love you, baby (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh baby
I want you back

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
