(Rodney Darkchild Jerkins)
Y'all ready?
Uhhh aaahhh
Whitney
(DarkChild)
If we could get it back
If we could get it back
Uh, ah
Yeah
Check it out
Come on
Remember when it all began
We were all in love, ah
Then came the friends telling you when
Your time for me was good enough
I constantly had to compete
With your crew and their schemes
Remembering back in the day
I used to mean everything
(If we could just get it back)
To the way it used to be
(My only wish would be that)
Nothing would change for you and me
(I remember how it was)
And I know that for a fact
(We were both so deep in love)
If we could just get it back
Now tell me why so many nights
You had so much to do, baby
When you said bye, sometimes I tried
I tried to make you choose
Now tell me how you can allow
Your boys to control, darlin'
The time we share, it wasn't fair
But now you need to know
(Now if I told you)
That I'm movin' on
(Boy what would you do?)
Oh things just ain't the same, no, no, no, no
(We were suppose to)
Oh baby
Conquer everything
(Boy, if I tell you)
You've got to make a change, oh boy
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
(If we could just get it back)
To the way it used to be
(My only wish would be that)
Nothing would change for you and me
(I remember how it was)
And I know that for a fact
(We were both so deep in love)
If we could just get it back
(If we could just get it back)
Can we do it, can we do it, can we do it, can we do it now baby?
(My only wish would be that)
Nothing would change for you and me
(I remember how it was)
And I know that for a fact
(We were both so deep in love)
If we could just get it back
(Rodney Darkchild Jerkins)
Remember how we used to dance
I like the way we used to dance
Girl let me see you dance
Just dance wit me, dance wit me
Remember how we used to dance
(Good boy)
I like the way we used to dance
Girl let me see you dance
Just dance wit me, dance wit me
(If we could just get it back)
(If we could just get it back)
(My only wish would be that)
Come on now
Nothing would change for you and me, boy
(I remember how it was)
And I know that for a fact
(We were both so deep in love)
If we could just get it back
(Rodney Darkchild Jerkins)
(Darkchild)
(If we could just get it back)
Ohh, to the way we used to be baby
(My only wish would be that)
Nothing would change for you and me
(I remember how it was)
Oh, to the way we used to be, baby
(We were both so deep in love)
I'm in love, I'm in love
(If we could just get it back)
Oh, yeah
(If we could just get it back)
Just get it back to the way it used to be
(My only wish would be that)
If we could just get it back
(I remember how it was)
Ohh, baby, come on now
(We were both so deep in love)
Show me, show me, show me, show me
(If we could just get it back)
(If we could just get it back)
