I Want You Back Lyrics
Just let me tell you now
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
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 see you in his arms
(I want you back) Yes I do now
(I want you back) Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) Nah, nah, nah, nah
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
Just let me tell you 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 see you in his arms
All I want, all I need, all I want, all I need
Just one more chance
Show you that I love you, baby
Forget what happened then
Let me live again
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
Spare me of this cost
Give back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance
I tell you that I love you
I want you back!
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
(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 see you in his arms
(I want you back) Yes I do now
(I want you back) Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) Nah, nah, nah, nah
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
(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 see you in his arms
Show you that I love you, baby
Forget what happened then
Let me live again
But now since I see you in his arms
Spare me of this cost
Give back what I lost
I tell you that I love you

I used to hear it that way, too. But "one long sleepless night" is consistent with the rhyme pattern.

I love this song and I love this group!! It's really cool that someone my age who wasn't even born until Michael went solo can still get into this -- it's great!
JACKSON FIVE ROX!! You did a great job figuring out these lyrics but I think you left a line out. Doesn't it go: (I want you back) Yes I do now (I want you back) Ooh Ooh Baby (I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back) nah, nah, nah, nah Anyways, great job. You're a legend
yes!! gotta love it!
This song is so happy that it makes me sad, no one is that happy. damn you jackson five !! great song
kickass bass line. i luv that line, i've been playin it 4 days straight i can't get it out of my head
I can't tell you how long I've been playing the bass line- its stuck in my head, but I can do it! this song is self explanitory, but so sweet. Awww!
