You know I thought I could live without you
I thought I could get along
But I never realized that I could be so wrong
Was I a fool to leave you
Or was I a fool to let you go?
Doesn't seem to matter much now baby
I should have never let you go
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until I got you back, aah, aah
I wander the road where we used to walk
And lotsof people pass by
They all look like they're in love
Everybody but me
I see your face in the crowd
I hear your voice everywhere I go
And when I turn around thinking you've come back
Ah, you're never, never, never there
I want you back
I want you back
And I'll keep on searchin' until you're really here
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until the love I've got
Is back in my heart to stay
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until the love I've got
Is back in my arms until I got you back
I want you back
I want you back
Never gonna stop until I got you back
I want you back
Baby, I want you back
I'll keep on search', I'll keep on search'
Until you're really here until I got you back
I want you back, I want you back
I want you back in my arms
I want you back
I will never stop until I know I've got
You back in my arms, arms
I want you back
