Lyrics

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
[Verse 1]
It's always about the time and I know this
I know this to be true
I've got to set the scene perfect for listening, I owe this
Owe this to me and you
[PreChorus]
But I can't seem to hold out any longer and I
I wonder if you'd try this, oh, baby, just try this on
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
I'm telling on myself
Just singing this to you
I want you back again
Ooh, gotta be saying this
There's no other way, just say it
I want you, I want you back again
[PostChorus]
I want you back again
[Instrumental]
We left it so very uncertain, you know this
You know this to be true
I had the time to think it over and over again, I
Return to me and you
[PreChorus]
But I can't seem to hold out any longer and I
I wonder if you'd try this, oh, baby, just try this on
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
I'm telling on myself
Just singing this to you
I want you back again
Ooh, gotta be saying this
There's no other way, just say it
I want you, I want you back again
[Bridge]
This song is just a start
A hope that you'll slip into the melody
And open up your heart for me
To hold a little longer, yeah
I wonder if you'd try this
Oh, baby, just try this on
How can I say it?
I want you back again
[Chorus]
I'm telling on myself
Just singing this to you (Singing this to you)
I want you back again
Ooh, gotta be saying this
There's no other way, just say it
I want you, I want you back again
I want you back again
[PostChorus]
I want you back again
[Outro]
I want you back again
And again
Don't wanna be saying this (Don't wanna be saying this)
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
Don't wanna be saying this
But how can I say it other than
I want you, I want you back again?
I'm telling on myself
