Well, I don't know how it happened
Must have been something I said
We had some words, she said some things
I guess, I must have lost my head
It's been a week since I left her
And I can't go on this way
I'll call her up and swallow my pride
When she says, hello, I'll say
I want you back again
Oh, what a fool I've been
I won't do that again
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
I want you back again
So I gather up all of my courage
And I found my last dime
I need it so but God only knows
If we can make up this time
I tremble as I dial her number
Oh, I hope I'm not too late
I say, it's me and I hold my breath
And softly I hear her say
I want you back again
Oh, what a fool I've been
I won't do that again
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
I want you back again
