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 when 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 (show you that I love you) Won't you please let me (back to 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) Ooh ooh baby (I want you back) Yeah yeah yeah yeah... (I want you back) Na na na na
I want you back!

When we played tag in grade school You wanted to be It. But chasing boys was just a fad You crossed your heart you'd quit.
When we grew up you traded Your promise for my ring Now just like back to grade school You're doing the same old thing!
Stop! The love you save may be your own! Darling, take it slow Or some day you'll be all alone. You'd better stop the love you save may be your own! Darling, look both ways before you cross me You're headed for the danger zone.
Slow down. Slow down. Slow down. Slow down.
