Lyrics

[Intro]

Just let me tell ya now

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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 darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)

But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

[Verse 2]

Trying 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

Let me tell ya now

[Chorus]

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 darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)

But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh

[Bridge]

All I want

All I need

All I want

All I need

[Chorus]

Ooh, just one more chance

To show you that I love you

Baby, baby, baby (Baby, baby, baby)

Forget what happened then

And let me live again

[Chorus]

Oh baby, I was blind to let you go

But now since I see you in his arms

Spare me of this cause

Give back what I lost

[Chorus]

Oh baby, I need one more chance, ha

I tell you that I love you

Oh, oh, oh (Baby, baby, baby)

I want you back, ha

I want you back
