Take Me Back

You said it′s over now

It's just not right

You said there′s a better place for you to be

It's not with me

Then you turned and walked away

I can't believe what I see

And I can′t go to sleep at night

When I think of how it used to be

′Cause, baby, she can't give you what I got

And she can′t stop your pain

And she can't love you the way I do

God, I want you back again

Maybe she could try with money

Or she could buy you clothes

But baby, when it′s dark and you're home at night

Does she ever hold you close?

She takes you out in style

She treats you right

She gives you all the things I never could

She′s so good

But don't you think of me

Baby, late at night?

And I just can't take it, boy

′Cause together we could be so right

Baby, she can′t give you what I got

And she can't stop your pain

And she can′t love you the way I do

God, I want you back again

Maybe she could try with money

Or she could buy you clothes

But baby, when it's dark and you′re home at night

Does she ever hold you close?

Take me back (ooh, you're gonna need me)

(Ooh, you′re gonna need me)

Take me back (ooh, you're gonna need me)

(Ooh, ah)

All those things we did before

Whatever happened to them?

And all those things I've been living for

Gotta start ′em all over again

You said it couldn′t last

That we were meant to part

A guy like you and a girl like me

Didn't stand a chance, not from the start

But then you looked at me

I had to ask you why

As I see and try to find out

Why you left me for those hungry eyes

Baby, she can′t give you what I've got

And she can′t stop your pain

And she can't love you the way I do

God, I want you back again

Maybe she could try with money

Or she could buy you clothes

But baby, when it′s dark and you're home at night

Does she ever hold you close?

Take me back (ooh, you're gonna take me)

Take me back (ooh, you′re gonna take me)

Take me back (ooh, you′re gonna take me)

Take me back

(Ah, ah, ah)

You're not gonna leave me

(Ooh, you′re gonna take me)

Take me back (ooh, you're gonna take me)

Yeah

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ooh, you′re gonna take me)

Take me back (ooh, you're gonna take me)

(Ooh, you′re gonna take me)

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ooh, you're gonna take me)

(Ooh, you're gonna take me)

Take me back (ooh, you′re gonna take me)

Take me back

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ooh, you′re gonna take me)
