From the recording I Want You Back
Lyrics
1st Verse (Male Singer):
Every day I’m missing you, lady
Can’t move on, I’m going crazy
I want you back, girl, I need you bad
Can we get what we had?
Never knew the worth ‘til I lost your touch
Didn’t think that love would hurt this much
Now I’m here, still holding on
Prayin’ that you’ll come home
Hook (Male Lead):
You know I’m missing my baby,
So much it’s making me crazy.
I’ve got to get her back, I’ve fallen off track,
I want back my lady.
I’m hoping that someday maybe,
She’ll see that I miss her like crazy.
I lay alone in my bed, thinking of what I said,
Girl, I need you daily.
Female Ad-lib:
“Ohhh… you’re gonna want me back…”
2nd Verse (Female Singer):
You had it all, boy, but you let it slip
Now you’re drowning in the love you missed
I gave you time, I gave you me
But you took it all for granted, can’t you see?
You said forever, but you broke that vow
You want me back — tell me why now?
You had my trust, you tore it apart
Now I’m guarding what’s left of my heart
Hook (Male Lead):
You know I’m missing my baby,
So much it’s making me crazy.
I’ve got to get her back, I’ve fallen off track,
I want back my lady.
I’m hoping that someday maybe,
She’ll see that I miss her like crazy.
I lay alone in my bed, thinking of what I said,
Girl, I need you daily.
Female Ad-lib:
“Mmm… now you want me back…”
Rap Verse (Male Rapper):
Yeah… look
I ain’t too proud to beg, girl, I’ll say it twice
You the one I need, can’t roll the dice
Had a good thing and I messed it up
Now I’m sittin’ here staring at my luck
Late nights, I be scrollin’ through your page
Feelin’ like a fool, locked in a cage
You the only one who really knew my soul
And girl, you made my life whole
I know you tired of the same old speech
But I’ma show you I can practice what I preach
No more lies, no more games
Just real love running through my veins
I belong to you, you belong to me
Girl, that’s how it’s meant to be
I’m prayin’ for a second chance
To rewrite our last romance
Female Ad-lib:
“You say you want me back…”
Hook (Male Lead):
You know I’m missing my baby,
So much it’s making me crazy.
I’ve got to get her back, I’ve fallen off track,
I want back my lady.
I’m hoping that someday maybe,
She’ll see that I miss her like crazy.
I lay alone in my bed, thinking of what I said,
Girl, I need you daily.
