You said it's over now It's just not right You said there's a better place for you to be It's not with me Then you turned and walked away I can't believe what I see And I can't go to sleep at night when I think of how it used to be
She can't give you what I've got And she can't stop your pain And she can't love you the way I do God I want you back again Maybe she could try with money Or she could buy you clothes But baby when it's dark and you're home at night Does she ever hold you close
She takes you out in style She treats you right She gives you all the things I never could, she's so good But don't you think of me Baby late at night And I just can't take it boy, together we could be so right
She can't give you what I've got And she can't stop your pain And she can't love you the way I do God I want you back again Maybe she could try with money Or she could buy you clothes But baby when it's dark and you're home at night Does she ever hold you close
Take me back (ooh you're gonna need me) (ooh you're gonna need me) Take me back (ooh you're gonna need me) All those things we did before Whatever happened to them And all those things I've been living for Gotta start 'em all over again
You said it couldn't last That we were meant to part A guy like you and a girl like me didn't stand a chance - not from the start But then you looked at me I had to ask you why As I see and try to find out why you left me for those hungry eyes
She can't give you what I've got And she can't stop your pain And she can't love you the way I do God I want you back again Maybe she could try with money Or she could buy you clothes But baby when it's dark and you're home at night Does she ever hold you close
Take me back Ooh you're gonna take me Take me back Ooh you're gonna take me Take me back Ooh you're gonna take me Take me back...
