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.
Friends have all come round and they're drinking
I'm inside the sound of glasses clinking
The worst are all inspired
The best they're all tongue-tied
They see too many sides oh babe
I want you back again
I sit very still but I'm rushing
To the place where once we were touching
Baby don't you realise that
The others don't hypnotise me
They just don't mesmerise me babe
I want you back
I want you back again
I sit very still but I'm rushing
To the place where once we were touching
Baby don't you realise that
The others don't hypnotise me
They just don't mesmerise me babe
I want you back
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
I want you back again
Don't send me no telegram
Don't call me on the telephone
Don't send me no letters no
Just keep running
Keep running
Keep running (repeat and fade)
