Detroit Soul Sensation - I Want You Back (From "Hitsville: The Making of Motown") Lyrics

Uh ohh
Let me tell you now
Uh huh
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
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, 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) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) Now, now, now, now
Trying 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 show you now)
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(Ohh) (bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum

All I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show that I love you
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)

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 it is all
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
Get back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (Oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)
