I WANT YOU BACK (words and music: Berry Gordy, Freddie Perren, Alphonzo Mizell, Deke Richards; arr. Patsy Moore) 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 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) 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 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 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 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 baby (I want you back) Forget what happened then (I want you back) And 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 (I want you back) Give me back what I lost Oh baby, I need one more chance I tell you that I love you Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh! I want you back I want you back __________________________ "I Want You Back" Berry Gordy (ASCAP ID #: 12369800) Alphonso Mizell (ASCAP ID #: J53084102) Frederick Perren (ASCAP ID #: J63433297) Deke Richards (BMI ID #: 41297297) ASCAP Work ID: 390637926 ISWC: T0713979862 BMI Work #: 490537 Publishers/Administrators: JOBETE MUSIC CO INC (ASCAP) EMI MUSIC PUBLSHING ATTN: VICE PRES., ROYALTIES 75 9TH AVE 4TH FLOOR NEW YORK, NY 10011 US (212) 492-1200 IPI #: 15357991 R2M MUSIC (BMI) BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US LLC DBA R2M MUSIC (LEFRAK SP ACCT) 1745 BROADWAY 19TH FLOOR NEW YORK, NY 10019 (212) 561-3000
