Chorus:

I told my girl bye-bye (bye)

And I really didn't mean it

Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)

And I really didn't mean it

Verse 1:

Out of my head to say the things i said

I didn't mean a word

Think jealousy just took a hold of me

I hope she'll ignore the things she heard

(No doubt about it) My heart is in her hands

(With every moment) I'm waiting for a second chance

(Maybe an angel) Will come and help her see

I can't face the world if she don't love me

Chorus:

I told my girl bye-bye (bye)

And I really didn't mean it

Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)

And I really didn't mean it

When I walked away I cried (cried)

And I really didn't mean it

So she took me back cause she knew I (I)

Really didn't mean it

Verse 2:

Dear one from me take my apology

I need you back

I promise I know o never let you go

Is there a chance to see you baby

(They talk about all) the love that we still share

(From her emotion) I barely miss your happiness

(You're missing and mourning) the way it used to be

I know it's true but I don't believe

Chorus:

I told my girl bye-bye (bye)

And I really didn't mean it

Said I met somebody new so fine (fine)

And I really didn't mean it

When I walked away I cried (cried)

And I really didn't mean it

So she took me back cause she knew I (I)

Really didn't mean it

Hook:

I want you back it can't be any other way

I want you back and I've waited for the day

I want you back I'm gonna be a little smarter

I want you back I'm gonna try a litte harder

She's good She's fine and always on my mind

I know our love will stand the test of time

She's my girl and my best friend

And i really didn't mean it

Her love is love so fine and so for real

I want the world to know the way i feel

She's my girl and my best friend

And I really didn't mean it

yeah... yeah.. oooh...

Chorus...fade
