I Want You Back (Mjj Mix)
Jackson 5 · Other Songs - Jackson 5
Let me tell you now Woah!
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 you from a bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
(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 girl)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Oh I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na
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 tear stains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Uh-huh
(I want you back)
Na na na na,
(I want you back)
Yes I do now,
(I want you back)
Na na na na.
