See my girl seem to run away
I thought she'd only be here to stay
But when she told me on the telephone
That she won't be coming home
Well I want you back
I want you back
In your eyes I have told you lies
And your heart I've torn apart
Then I tell you I won't cause you pain
Now I'm wishing I had you again
Well I want you back
I want you back
You can call me a mean old man
I can say that I understand
Thinking of you late last night
Wishing that we'd never fight
Well I want you back
I want you back
Tell me that you'll come back someday
For I can't ever live this way
Only living with what I lost
Now I'm only paying the cost
Well I want you back
I want you back
