When I had you to myself 
I didn't want you around 
Those pretty faces always made you 
Stand out in a crowd 
But someone picked you from the bunch 
One glance was all it took 
Now it's much too late for me 
To take second look 

Oh baby give me one more chance 
To show you that I love you 
Won't you please send me back in your heart 

Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go 
But now since I see you in his arms 
I want you back 
Yes I do now 
I want you back 
Ooh ooh baby 
Yeah yeah, naw 

Trying to live without your love 
Is one long sleepless night 
Let me show you girl 
That I know wrong from right 

Every street you walk on 
I leave tear stains on the ground 
Following the girl 
I didn't even want around 
Oh baby give me one more chance 
To show you that I love you 
Won't you please send me back in your heart

Abuh buh buh buh 
All I want! 
Abuh buh buh buh 
All I need! 
Abuh buh buh buh
