Girl, can't you see that I (I want you back)
And I'd do anything to be with you again (I want you back)
I see I messed up
I know I hurt you
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see (I want you back)
I remember how I used to make you breakfast in the morning 'fo' you went to work
I remember how I used to give you nakey for your late night desert
But I can't tell you
All the the ways oh
Sicne that day that we fell apart
Now, mama I ain't tryin' to justify the way I broke yo' heart
I'm just tryin to make you understand what's right there in my heart
I must have been so blind
And I thought love was blind
But now I've realised
I swear I've realised
I want you back
Girl, can't you see that I (I want you back)
And I'd do anything to be with you again (I want you back)
I see I messed up
I know I hurt you
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see (I want you back)
Get on down, come on down
Get on down, come on down
Get on down, come on down
Get on down, come on down
Can someone help me find my baby girl
Can someone help me find my baby girl
Girl, can't you see that I (I want you back)
And I'd do anything to be with you again (I want you back)
I see I messed up
I know I hurt you
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see (I want you back)
Girl, can't you see that I (I want you back)
And I'd do anything to be with you again (I want you back)
I see I messed up
I know I hurt you
Baby, I'm sorry, can't you see (I want you back)
