Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Won't you get back, won't you try to get back, get back together?
Won't you get back, won't you try to get back, get back together?
[Verse 2]
Still can't believe that you two are now just friends
You've got no lover and he's free at weekends
I know he said when you first met
That you must always play the hand you get
[Verse 3]
But you're two years on a losing streak
Get back together, get back together
It's something you can do next week
Get back together, get back together
[Verse 4]
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
[Verse 5]
Matches are not made in heaven, they're made right here on Earth
He searched the starry skies, ended up in your arms
You taught him all he knows, just think what you could have been
Another Arthur and Marilyn
[Verse 6]
Now you're two years on a losing streak
Get back together, get back together
It's something you can do next week
Get back together, get back together
[Verse 7]
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
[Verse 8]
And then you say that you got bored
How can you say that you got bored?
Some people search their whole lives through
But never find what was shown to you
[Verse 9]
Won't you get back, won't you try to get back, get back together?
Still can't believe that you two are just friends
You've got no lover and he's at the loose ends
And hey, girl, listen to what I say
And don't let that boy just walk away
[Verse 10]
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
Ooh, won't you get back, try to get back together?
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
Ooh, won't you get back (Won't you) Try to get back together?
[Verse 11]
Baby, get back, baby, baby, get back
Get back together, get back together
Baby, get back, baby, baby, get back
Get back together, get back together
[Verse 12]
Baby, get back, baby, baby, get back (You search the the starry skies)
(Ended up in ) Your arms you searched the starry skies
Get back together, get back together
Baby, get back, baby, baby, get back
Get back together
