I Want You Back Lyrics
Take me back to the place where I
Loved that girl for all time
Why must life just take away
Every good thing one at a time
I want it back
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want your love
How can I not even cry?
For such a big thing in my life
The pain it takes the part of me
Turn around and say goodbye
I want it back
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want you
How did you do it females?
It's always you do it angels
You always keep me on the run
So how did you do it angels?
Always you do it females
You always keep me on the run
I want it back
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want your love
But I can't let myself love you
Loved that girl for all time
Why must life just take away
Every good thing one at a time
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want your love
For such a big thing in my life
The pain it takes the part of me
Turn around and say goodbye
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want you
It's always you do it angels
You always keep me on the run
So how did you do it angels?
Always you do it females
You always keep me on the run
Well yes I want it back
Yes I want you back
Please give it me back
Cause I want your love
But I can't let myself love you

I love this song.
think this song speaks for itself really!
His thinking over a breakup which he recently went thru... thinking over the feelings he had for hr and how life has changed since they split up... he wants her back but at same time realises that he cant let himelf because to muh has passed underthe bridge
I think he might be able 2 get her back? but like to much craps happened you know... sometimes you just cant forget the crap
I think its about one of those relationships that are comfortable so its what you always end up going back to. After it ended, he wanted her back, because he wanted to be loved, and being with her is better than being lonely. But he never really loved her with the kind of passion that you look for, and he knows even if he got her back, he'd still never really love her.

this song si sooo sweet, he doesn't deserve this treatment, he such a sweetheart!!
i like this song
i really like this song, i downloaded it without knowing much about the kooks music, apart from 'naive', and instantly liked it
like it! kind of a coldplay-sound in the beginning but then...
Jeeze I wish I could go back to the time before these songs had meaning to me. Pretty much a general "I miss you" song. Wish I had no one to miss.
About wanting the past back. I want to skip before that time I loved that girl for all time........lol
There's also a little bit about how girls make you be the way you end up....which I believe is true. Innocence seeks out cruelty, becomes corrupted and then continues the cycle.
i think that this song is all about falling in love with a girl and then it not working out in the end. I think he's sayn dat he cant be with her but he wants to love her and wants her to love him. i think the gurl dat he loves has just rejected him and hes sad its gone and he wants the love back but cant get it to work out
Meanings pretty much been said between buck and thingyyo. REally like this song, i like the whole album actually, which is a surprise as a lot of the music in the charts at the moment just annoys me, but i do like the kooks seeing them at reading on sunday wooooo!!!!
i simply like this wonderful sound of this song... this tender beginning... and then the heavy "i want her back...give it me back..." ...you can almost hear him cry... so wonderful... one of the best kook songs
