Lyrics The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers

Got to Have You Back

Got to have you back I need you

A jealous lie hurt my foolish pride

Made me break your heart

Now our love has died

I see a closing door - a door never more

A door of jealousy between your love and me

Now I face a storm of tears

You took the sunshine from my face

Now I'm just another man

Who walks the undestined way

Without your guiding hand

I can hardly tell when I'm the man

Pride made a fool of me

Now I'm drowning in misery - misery is drowning me

And I've got to have you back I need you

Between the night and day oh heaven speed you

Cos I need you girl

I've been told - it's a loneliness

Oh dark is the emptiness

Since you've been gone in me

Oh gone is the lover I need

Pride destroyed the love we knew

But not my need for you

Without your love around

My whole world is falling down - falling down - all around

And I've got to have you back

Got to have you back

Got to have you back

Got to have you back

Got to have you back

I see a closing door...

Got to have you back - I'm drowning in misery

Got to have you back - my pride made a fool of me

Got to have you back - my whole world is falling down

Got to have you back - without your sweet love around

Got to have you back
