Lyrics
I Want You Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left ( as people do ),
And forgets what we've been through
(Does this sound familiar to you ?)
It's not that she's gone away
It's the things I hear she has got to say
About me - and about my friends
When we've got no defence.
That's her: I'll never believe her again.
She might have deceived all my friends
I know they will see in the end
What it all means when she says (yeah!)
I want you back (She says)
But what's worse: she thinks it's true
But that's just her (she always was a little bit confused!)
She's not worth the time I had to lose.
