Lyric
Uh-huh, huh, huh-huh
Just let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself, I didn’t want you around
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance what is 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)
Won’t you please let me back in your heart (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
oh, I do now
(I want you back)
(I want you back)
All I want
All I need
All I want
Ooh, I do now
(I want you back) ooh, baby
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) Na, na, na, na
Tryin’ to live without your love just 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 tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to show you that I love)
Won’t you please let me back in your heart (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, uh-huh
All I want
All I need
All I want
All I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
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’d show you that I love you, ah, ah, ah (baby, baby, baby)
I want you back
Forget what happened then
I want you back
And let me live again
ABC easy as one, two, three
Simple as ABC
Easy as one, two, three
All I want
All I need
All I want
All I need
All I want
