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’ve got
And she can’t stop the 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’ve got
And she can’t stop the pain
And she can’t love you the way I do
And 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 aah-ha)

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 say 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 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 the 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 gonna need me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
Take me back
(a-ha-ha)
You know you gonna need me
(ooh you gonna need me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
Aaah
(a-ha-ha)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna take me)
Take me back
(ooh you gonna need me)
(a-ha-ha)
(ooh you gonna need me)
(ooh you gonna take me)
(ooh you gonna need me)
(ooh you gonna take me) …
