We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times gonna say I'm sorry (How many times)?
Yes, I'm sorry.

How can something so good go so bad
How can something so right go so wrong
I don't know, I don't have all the answers
But I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry.

You know
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me.

I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back
How many times gonna say I'm sorry
Yes I'm sorry.

You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me.

You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving till it's all over
We had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you.

They say you can't take it with you
When you go
And I believe it
But taking what I got or to give you
No I try to believe it
I'd rather leave it.

We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say I'm sorry.

You know
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me.

You know
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
