I Want You Back (Live At Outsider Festival, UK / 2007 / With Commentary)

[Verse 1]

When I had you close to me

I didn’t know what I believed

All the lights in your eyes were shining

But I was too blind to see

Now I feel the nights get colder

Every time I think you’re gone

And I wish I’d held you longer

Instead of trying to move on

[Chorus]

Oh darling, give me one more try

Let me prove what’s in my heart tonight

Can’t you see I’m breaking down?

Since you’re not around

I just want you back, I just want you back

Oh baby, yeah, I just want you back

[Verse 2]

Every corner feels like the past

All our memories stitched to glass

I walk these streets and call your name

But it echoes just the same

If you knew the way I’m aching

You’d see how I’ve changed, I swear

Every mistake I made I’m paying

Just hoping you’ll meet me there

[Chorus]

Oh darling, give me one more try

Let me prove what’s in my heart tonight

Can’t you see I’m breaking down?

Since you’re not around

I just want you back, I just want you back

Oh baby, yeah, I just want you back

[Bridge]

I was foolish to let you go

Now I’m begging so you know

Every beat inside my chest

Still calls your name, nothing less

[Outro]

All I want, all I need

Is your love here next to me

Won’t you send me a little sign?

Take me back in time

’Cause I just want you back

Oh I just want you back

Yeah, yeah, I just want you back
