I Want You Back

Once upon a time I thought everything would turn out fine, just like lines in books Now I'm caught, caught up in a tangled web All the things you said I bought, like a fool I'd shout it loud, "I don't care what they say", and now it's clear that all of it was make believe Now and then I think, now and then I think too much about you in my sleep, about you in my sleep And when the dreams have all come back and settled down And the stupid nightmares hang around with the visions of the one you're with now I know I tried to get you out my broken mind And to leave the past we have behind But it's no use wishing now for things like that, I want you back Well I really truly tried in the way you'd want me to, and never do you harm I see it couldn't last cos of what I said to you And you knew it all along, you couldn't have just said to me "I don't care about it", no you couldn't say "Hey girl just leave it all behind" Well now and then I think, now and then I think too much about you in my sleep, about you in my sleep And when the dreams have all come back and settled down And the stupid nightmares hang around with the visions of the one you're with now I know I tried to get you out my broken mind And to leave the past we have behind But it's no use wishing now for things like that, I want you back
