[Verse:]

Where did my baby go?
I don’t care, but I need him to come back home
How did he get away from me?
I don’t care cuz his lovin’ is all I need

First, let me say
That I never meant to break your heart
When I think back on that day
My whole world just fell apart

How did we end up here?
Devastated and frustrated
Cried so many tears
And I’m looking pass all your flaws
Cuz I never ever had a love
Like this before, so

[Chorus:]

I want you back, I want you back
I need you back, I need you back
No matter what you did
No matter what I said
I need you back, I need you back
I want you back, I want you back
This ain’t no way to live
Baby I need you here

[Verse 2:]

Promise to put you first
It’s whatever
We’ll get better
This love will take some work
But it’s just reality
We’re not perfect
I know I hurt you like you hurt me

Now, let me say
That I never meant to break you down
And now I’m feeling so much pain
I miss having you around
How did we end up here?
Devastated and frustrated
Cried so many tears
But you’re looking pass all my flaws
Cuz you never ever had a love
Like this before

[Chorus:]

I want you back, I want you back
I need you back, I need you back
No matter what you did
No matter what I said
I need you back, I need you back
I want you back, I want you back
This ain’t no way to live
Baby I need you here
