I Want You Back Meaning

[[Intro: Michael Jackson]
Uh-huh huh huh huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
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, 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)

[Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
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 tear stains on the ground
Following the girl, I didn’t even want around
Let me tell you now
, [Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (To 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, uh-huh

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
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
