I Want You Back
Bananarama · The Greatest Hits Collection
And outside in the street it's raining
You packed your bags and said goodbye
You took my heart without explaining
How could you go
How could you go
We had a love most people never know
Ooh stop before you break my heart
I want you back, don't care what I have to do
I want you back back back
I want you back, gotta get it through to you
I want you back back back
If I can make you see
Only you can fill the need in me
If you walk away
You'll regret it some day
Please stay
This room is full of memories and
Shadows of the past remind me
Of all the love I gave in vain and
All the hurt I feel inside me
I want you back
I want you back
We had a love most people never know
Ooh stop before you break my heart
I want you back, don't care what I have to do
I want you back back back
I want you back, gotta get it through to you
I want you back back back
If I can make you see
Only you can fill the need in me
If you walk away
You'll regret it some day
Please stay
I want you back
I, I want you back
I want you back
I, I want you
I want you back
We had a love most people never know
Ooh stop before you break my heart
I want you back, don't care what I have to do
I want you back back back
I want you back, gotta get it through to you
I want you back back back
If I can make you see
Only you can fill the need in me
If you walk away
You'll regret it some day
Please stay
I want you back, don't care what I have to do
I want you back back back
I want you back, gotta get it through to you
I want you back back back
