"I Want You Back"
[Originally by Jackson 5]

Just let me tell you now
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
But someone picked from the bunch
One glance is all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(Back in your heart)
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Nah nah nah nah

Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around

Just Let me tell you now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(Back in your heart)
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

All I want, all I need, all I want, all I need
Just one more chance
Show you that I love you, baby
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
Let me live again
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cost
Give back what I lost
Oh baby, I need one more chance
I'll tell you that I love you
