Want Me Back
Lyrics
Tell me what you want from me, boy
Why you gotta act so needy?
Maybe you were what I'm missin'
Maybe I crave your affection
Everything you say cuts me, boy
Why don't you just let me heal ya?
Why do I feel like I'm searching?
Without you, boy, I feel nothin'
Tear me down, you hurt me
Change your mind, want me again
Playin' with my heart, and I turn blind, mm
Blind again, mm
Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe
(Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe)
Longing for my company, hey
(Longing for my company, hey)
You're pushin' me 'round
Look at what I'm left with now, boy
Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe
(Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe)
Longing for my company, hey
(Longing for my company, hey)
You're pushing me 'round
Look at what I'm left with now, boy
I can see you kind of need me
You've been havin' trouble sleepin'
Maybe we are meant to be here
Maybe I want us to happen
Sometimes I wish you would leave and
We would never speak again, but
Then there's somethin' 'bout you, boy, yeah
I can't hold myself back from ya
Tear me down, you hurt me
Change your mind, want me again
Playin' with my heart and I turn blind, mm
Blind again, mm (ooh, oh)
Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe
(Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe)
Longing for my company, hey
(Longing for my company, hey)
You're pushin' me 'round
Look at what I'm left with now, boy (left with now)
Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe
(Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe)
Longing for my company, hey
(Longing for my company, hey)
You're pushin' me 'round
Look at what I'm left with now, boy
Too late to apologize
Movin' on now, with other guys
Deleted all your messages
You're nothing but lies in my head
Should've never hurt me, boy
Wasted your shot
Now I am off
Tell me that I'm all that you need, babe
(Tell me that I'm all that you need)
Longing for my company, hey
(Longing for my company, hey)
You're pushing me 'round (pushin' me around)
Look at what I'm left with now, boy (left with now)
