Uh-huh huh huh huh Let me tell ya now

Verse 1

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 the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Chorus

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 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)
Ya ya ya ya (I want you back)
Na na na na

Verse 2

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, let me tell you now

Chorus

Oh baby, all I need is 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

A buh buh buh buh 
A buh buh buh buh, All I want
A buh buh buh buh, All I need
A buh buh buh buh, All I want
A buh buh buh buh, All I need
Oh just one more chance 
To show you that I love you
Baby (baby) baby (baby) baby (baby) (I want you back)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
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 cause
Gimme back what I lost
Oh baby, I need one more chance ha, I tell ya that I love you
Baby (ah) baby (ah) baby (ah) (I want you back)
