I Want You Back (Alive) Lyrics

Let me tell you nowWhen I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make me
Stand up in a crowdSomeone picked you from the bunch
That was all it took
And now it's much too late for me
To take a second lookOh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms
I want you backOh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, baby, I want you back
Oh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, babyTried to live without your love
One of those sleepless nights
But that just shows you, girl
That I know wrong from rightAnd every street you walk down

I leave tear stains on the ground
Following you, girl
I can feel you all around
Let me tell you nowOh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his armsYou're all I want
You're all I wantYou're all I need, one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?Oh, darling, I must have been blind
To let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his armsForget what happened then
And let me live againOne more chance, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, babyForget about the cost
And give back what I lostGive me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me back in your heart?Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
Let you go, baby
Now that I see you in his arms
Let me tell you babyNow that I see you in his arms
I want you back
Oh, I do now, I want you back
Oh, oh, baby, I want you back
