I Want You Back

I Want You Back

Once upon a time I thought everything would turn out fine, just like lines in books
Now I see I’m caught, caught up in a tangled web
All the things you said I bought, like a fool I’d shout it loud, “I don’t care what they say” And now it’s clear that all of it was make believe
 
Now and then I think, now and then I think too much about you in my sleep, about you in my sleep
 
And when the dreams have all come back and settled down
And the stupid nightmares hang around
With the visions of the one you’re with now
I know I tried to get you out my broken mind
And to leave the past we have behind
But it’s no use wishing now for things like that, I want you back
 
Well I really truly tried in the way you’d want me to, and never do you harm
I see it couldn’t last cos of what I said to you
And you knew it all along, you couldn’t have just said to me “I don’t care about it”, no you Couldn’t say “Hey girl just leave it all behind”
 
Well now and then I think, now and then I think too much about you in my sleep, about You in my sleep
 
And when the dreams have all come back and settled down
And the stupid nightmares hang around
With the visions of the one you’re with now
I know I tried to get you out my broken mind
And to leave the past we have behind
But it’s no use wishing now for things like that, I want you back
