i want you back
if you’ve never been wrong you don’t know right
if you’ve never been wrong you just can’t get right
i spent some time leaving and too much time grieving for sundays
just lying in your arms

if you’ve never been bad you don’t know the good
if you’ve never been bad you can’t tell like i could
i made mistakes but i’ve made up my mind
i let the past go before me - no not this time

i want you back
back with me baby

cause i’ve been searching for someone and i didn’t know it was you
i’ve been searching for someone

if you’ve never been down then you can’t get upright
if you’ve never been down let’s get down tonight
you’re a sinner and a saint baby just make up your mind
let the past go before me, but no not this time

chorus

i really need you
cause i’ve been searching for someone and i didn’t know it was you
i’ve been searching for someone - i want you back
