Lyrics
I guess, now it's time For me to give up I feel it's time Got a picture of you beside me Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup Oh, yeah Got a fist of pure emotion Got a head of shattered dreams Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it, I just want you back for good (Want you back, want you back) (Want you back for good) Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song And I'll sing it, you'll be right and understood (Want you back, want you back) I want you back for good (want you back for good) Unaware but underlined I figured out this story (no, no) It wasn't good (no, no) But in the corner of my mind (corner of my mind) I celebrated glory But that was not to be In the twist of separation You excelled at being free Can't you find (can't you find?) A little room inside for me? Whatever I said, whatever I did (whenever I'm wrong) I didn't mean it (I'll tell you), I just want you back for good (Want you back, want you back) See, I want you back for good (want you back for good) Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song (whenever I'm wrong) And I'll sing it (I'll tell you), you'll be right and understood (Want you back, want you back) I want you back for good (want you back for good) And we'll be together This time is forever (forever now) We'll be fighting and forever we will be So complete in our love, we will never be uncovered again Whatever I said, whatever I did (whenever I'm wrong) I didn't mean it (I'll tell you), I just want you back for good (Want you back, want you back) (Want you back for good) Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song (whenever I'm wrong) And I'll sing it (I'll tell you), you'll be right and understood (I want you back, want you back) See, I want you back for good (want you back for good) (Whatever I said, whatever I did) whenever I'm wrong (I didn't mean it) I'll tell you (I just want you back for good) (I want you back) want you back (want you back) I want you back for good (want you back for good) (Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song) whenever I'm wrong (And I'll sing it) I'll tell you (you'll be right and understood) I want you back (want you back), I want you back (want you back) You see, I want you back for good (want you back for good) Oh, yeah I guess, now it's time That you came back for good
