And now you're doing them with her Remember all the things that you and I did first? You got me, got me like this And now you're taking her to every restaurant And everywhere we went, come on! And now you're taking her to every restaurant You got me, got me like this Boy you can say anything you want I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin' Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin' I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back Please, this ain't even jealousy She ain't got a thing on me Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans You clearly didn't think this through If what I've been told is true You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo Remember all the things that you and I did first? And now you're doing them with her Remember all the things that you and I did first? You got me, got me like this And now you're taking her to every restaurant And everywhere we went, come on! And now you're taking her to every restaurant You got me, got me like this Boy you can say anything you want I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin' Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin' I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back Ooh, I thought you'd still be mine When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh Ooh, and you might be with her But I still had you first uh oh uh oh (Let's go! Astro!) We used to be, but now there's a separation between you and me Baby I'm moving on to another girl that understands me more Dated her in front your place so you can see it all I remember the times, when we used to bond But I never realized that you wanted to be mine So I gave her the ring, instead of you, nickname too I can tell you're upset, because it ain't you Met a new girl, and I gave her my heart Not noticing that you wanted me from the very start You want me back? We can just be friends, or try this thing all over again c'mon Boy you can say anything you want I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin' Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin' I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back (Let me know) Oh, I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back Oh, I want you back I want you back Wa-want you, want you back Does it sound like a helicopter?
