I Want You Back

The Jackson 5



When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around

Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd

But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took

Now it's much too late for me to take a second look



Oh baby, give me one more chance

(To 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've seen you it is on

(I want you back)

Oh I do now

(I want you back)

Ooh ooh baby

(I want you back)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I want you back)

Na na na na



Trying to live without your love is one long sleepness 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 ya now

Oh baby, all I need is one more chance

(To 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've seen you it is on



All I want...

All I need...

All I want!

All I need!



Oh, just one more chance

To show you that I love you

Baby baby baby baby baby baby!

(I want you back)

Forget what happened then

(I want you back)

And let me live again!



Oh baby, I was blind to let you go

But now since I've seen you it is on

(I want you back)

Spare me of this cost

(I want you back)

Give me back what I lost!



Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah

I'd show you that I love you

Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!

I want you back!

I want you back!
