I Want You Back
Alphonso Mizell / Berry Gordy, Jr. / Deke Richards / Frederick Perrin
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
But now since I see you in his arms
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
