(Want You) Back In My Life Again Lyrics

You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losing your love

I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me

There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
That the price gets higher every day
And all I can say is

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with, here with me

I want you back in my life again

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you
I know that I need you back in my life
I want you back in my life
I want you back in my life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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
