Lyrics

Baby, give me one more chance
Baby, give me one more chance
Baby please forget what happened then
Let me live once again
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Your handsome face has always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Then someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
And 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, won't you let me
Back in your heart
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go
And now that I see you in her arms
I want you back
I want you back
I want you back, now
I want you back
Oh baby, trying to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, boy
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the boy
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, won't you let me
Back in your heart
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go
'Cause now when I see you in her arms
I want you back
I want you back, now
I want you back
All I want
All I need
Is to hear you say
You forgive me
Forgive me, baby
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh, baby
I want you back
I want you back
Gotta, gotta have you back
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go
'Cause now when I see you in her arms
I want you back
I want you back
