Songtexte I Want You Back (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, December 14, 1969) - The Jackson 5

Uh, huh, huh, huh, uh
Let me tell ya now
Uh, huh (uh)

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 a second look

Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart?
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Oh, oh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na

Tryin' 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
Let me tell you now

Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart?
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh, huh

(A boom, boom, boom, boom)
A boom, boom, boom, boom, all I want
A boom, boom, boom, boom, all I need
A boom, boom, boom, boom, all I want
A boom, boom, boom, boom, all I need!
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby (baby!)
Baby (baby!)
Baby (baby!)

Forget what happened then
Let me live again
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
Spare me of this 'cause
Gimme back what I lost
Oh, baby, I need one more chance, hah
Baby (ah), baby (ah), oh baby
Oh (oh), oh (oh), I want you back!
