Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah
Some days it's so easy
And sometimes I forget how
Much I want you back again
Back again
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe it's a game
You win some, and you lose some
And when you find a good one
Don't let her get away
Don't let her go
[PreChorus]
Oh, yeah
If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
Oh, to have you back again
Back again, baby
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a fool, baby
Playin' Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' 'round like I got nothin' much to lose
Oh, but I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So, help me find my way back to you
Back to you
[Verse 3]
I'm walkin' past your window
You used to smile and you'd throw
Your sweet kisses back to me
Back to me
[Verse 4]
Oh, yeah, remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one true
And it seems like yesterday
Just like yesterday, baby
[Verse 5]
Oh, I'm just a fool, baby
Playin' Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' 'round like I got nothin' much to lose
Oh, but I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So, help me get my way back to you
Back to you
[Bridge]
Oh, I want you
So, take me back, please
Take me back, my baby
[PreChorus]
If only I could have you
Just the way I want to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm just a fool, baby
Playin' Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' 'round like I got nothin' much to lose, babe
But I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So, help me get my way back to you
[Verse 6]
Oh, I want you
So, take me back, please
Take me back, my baby
[Outro]
If only I could have you
Just the way I want to
Just the way I want
Yeah
Ah
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
