Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you've got till you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
[Verse 2]
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?) You know I'm so, so, sorry
[Verse 3]
Well, I only wanted you for someone to love
There's something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry? (How many times?)
[Verse 4]
(Well, you know) You can run, you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, please believe in me
[Verse 5]
How can something so good go so bad?
How can something so right go so wrong?
Well I don't know, I don't have all the answers
But I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?) You know I'm so, so sorry, girl (Sorry)
[Verse 6]
(Listen well) You can run, you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
(We've had our problems but I'm on your side)
You're all that I need, please believe in me
[Verse 7]
You can run, you can hide
But I'm not leaving until it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, let me show you machete
[Verse 8]
They say you can't take it with you when you go
And I believe it
Takin' what I've got or bein' here with you
You know, I'd rather leave it, leave it
[Verse 9]
We had our life, we had our love
But you don't know what you've got till you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?) You know I'm so, so sorry, girl (Sorry)
[Verse 10]
But you can run, you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, please believe in me
[Verse 11]
You can run, you can hide
I'm not leaving till it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all that I need, please believe in me
