I Want You Back Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
OK I'm thinkin' of a master plan
Nah, I'm lyin', shorty on my mind
Shorty like a fryin', pan, and I ain't got
Nothin' but sweat inside my hands
(All around the world, girls, all around the world
This goes out to girls all around the world)
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
But I don't need a cent, 'cause shorty priceless
I tell it like this, I been (all around the world)
So baby I can take you (all around the world)
I roll up, this is a hold up
It's young money man, shorty made me smile
When ain't a damn thing funny
He heh, but still don't nothin' move but the money
So baby if I move then we move with the money
(All around the world, girls, all around the world
This goes out to girls all around the world)
Which is my favorite dish
But if I taste you that'll probably switch
And then we will probably switch
(All around the world
This goes out to girls all around the world)
Now I'm walking up the street, whistling this

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
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
[Hook: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
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

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
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
[Hook: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
(show you 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)
But now since I see you in his arms

[Bridge]
Uh-huh
A buh buh buh buh
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need

[Verse 4: Jermaine Jackson]
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby!
Baby!
Baby!
Baby!
Baby!
Baby!
(I want you back)

[Verse 5: Jackie Jackson]
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
(Jermaine):
Let me live again

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
Oh baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
[Jackie Jackson]
Spare me of this cause
[Jermaine Jackson]
Gimme back what I lost
[Michael Jackson]
Oh baby I need one more chance ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby, baby
I want you back!
