[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause baby
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?

[Verse 2]
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
'Cause together we could be so right

[Chorus]
Baby
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?

[Hook]
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
(Ooh, ahh ahh)

[Bridge]
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!

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Baby
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?

[Hook]
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back

[Outro]
(Aah, aah, aah, ooh, you're gonna need me)
You're not gonna leave me!
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)

Yeah, take me back
(Aah, aah, aah, ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)

(Aah, aah, aah, ooh, you're gonna need me)
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Take me back

(Aah, aah, aah, ooh, you're gonna need me)
(Ooh, you're gonna need me)
Ooh, take me back…
