Lyrics The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars

I Want You Back

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 go and take a second look

Oh baby give me one more chance

Won't you please let me in your heart

Oh darling I was blind to let you go

Now that I see you in his arms

I want you back

I want you back

I want you back

Trying to live without your love

Is like one long sleepless night

Let me show you boy

That I really know, I know wrong from right

Cause every street you're walking on

You leave tear stains on the ground

Follow boy, I didn't even want

Didn't even want you around

Oh baby give me one more chance

To show you I love you

Won't you please let me in your heart

Oh darling I was blind to let you go

Let you go baby

Now that I see you in his arms

Oh now that I see you in his arms

I want you back

I want you back

I want you back
