I Want You Back - Colin Hay

I’d be glad to give back

All I have ever owned

If I could have seen into the future

If only I had known

Behind these walls of separation

I have learned to live alone

But I want you, I want you back

I could clearly see the letters

But not the writing on the wall

About what had come between us

How the mighty fall

And one thing keeps repeating

Is the only thing I know?

That I want you, I want you back

Yeah I want you, I want you back

Well I have taken that number

How can I have been so blind

Now I am coming up from under

It’s you I have to find

My back is all up against the ropes

Only one way I can go

And I want you

How far is the distance

Have you gone beyond the sign

Have you passed the point of no return

Have you crossed that line

And if it burns me like a fever

I’ve got to tell you one last time

That I want you, I want you back

Yeah I want you, I want you back
