I Want You Back

Usher & Jadakiss

[Just Blaze]

Real talk. Usher, Just Blaze.

[Usher]

Oh!

Oh ho!

(Mmm you gonna want me back)

[Is the last words she said to me now I'm wishing she was still here with me]

(You know your gonna need me)

And now that day's here, ya man gotta shed tears. Right!

(Mmm you gonna want me back)

You never miss a good thing till it leaves ya

Finally I realize that I need ya

I want ya back

Baby girl I need ya back

Gotta have ya back, babe

Heartbroken when you left my world

Man I wish I woulda kept my girl

I love you

I don't know what I'm gon do wit out my baby

It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)

'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)

I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time

Oh I just wish I could find you girl

Said I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)

'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)

I'm goin' outta my head and all the things that I said

I wish that I never said them now

Aww baby

What you say now?

(You gonna want me back)

And still I want you, want you, want you, want you, want you

Need ya babe

If I could rewind the time

And get inside ya mind

I would take back all my words

I didn't see it, I couldn't see what I was doin' babe

See baby girl I was blind

And I wish I could try

To be the man that you deserve

Give me one chance to make it work

It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)

'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)

I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time

Oh I just wish I could find you girl

Said I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)

'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)

I'm goin' outta my head and all the things that I said

I wish that I never said them now

(Mmm you gonna want me back)

Wish I could throw it back

I want it the way it use to be

(You gonna need me)

(Mmm your gonna want me back)

(Jadakiss)

Yeah

Uh Oh

Uh Yeah Uh

Yo I'm tryin' to stay strong

I don't wanna crack but i need her

And she told me I was gon' want her back

Shoulda belived her

Now I'm wishin' I could throw me back to that exact spot

Where we found L-O-V-E at

Lose some then I lose again

When am gonna win some

I said a lot of things out of anger but i meant some

I brought a lot of things to the table besides income

I just want things to go back to how they used to be

I was used to you and I thought you was used to me

Time is against me

You never miss something til' it's gone

That's my word ma

You convinced me

It might not happen but I'm still hopin'

And my heart is broken

But the door is still open

Pillow still soakin

Your boy still loapin'

Dutch still lit

And the bottle still open

If I don't get another chance it'll be hard to get focused

Give me one chance to make it work!

It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)

'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)

I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time

Oh I wish I could find you girl

Said I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)

'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)

The love of my life but I wasn't loving you right baby

It's driving me crazy (It's driving me crazy)

'Cause I'm missing my baby (Missing my baby)

I'm goin' outta my mind and I'm runnin' outta time

I just wish I could find you girl

So I'm about to go crazy (About to go crazy)

'Cause I been needin' you lately (Needing you lately)

I'm goin' outta my head and all the things that I said

I wish that I never said them now

(Mmm your gonna want me back)

It's the last words she said to me

Now I'm wishing she was still here with me

(Your gonna need me, need me one day)

And that day's here

(Mmm your gonna want me back)

And ya man gotta shed tears

I'm sittin' by the phone

Realizing she ain't ever coming home.....
