I Want You Back Lyrics

[Intro: Dolly Parton]
Mm

[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
I broke every promise that I made to you
I broke my word when I said I'd be true
I broke your heart when I found someone new
And broke you all to pieces when I walked out on you

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton, Steven Tyler]
But now when I kiss him, I'm still tasting you
And when we make love, your face comes to view
I hear somebody else, oh, is lovin' on you
It drives me insane, I can't take the pain, I'm the world's biggest fool


[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
No, I was a fool and I want you back (I want you back)
Yeah, I want you back (I want you back)
Can you forgive me?
Is it too much to ask?
Oh, I was so wrong
To trеat you like that
I'm fallin' apart, I broke both our hearts
Now I want you back

[Bridge: Dolly Parton, Steven Tyler, Both]
What can I do to makе it up to you?
The hurt and the pain that I put you through
(Yeah, you put me through)
Oh, I was such a fool
To ever let you go

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Steven Tyler]
Now I want you back
I want you back (I want you back)
I'm lonely and lost (Lonely and lost)
And I'm goin' mad (Yeah, I lost my mind, yeah)
And the new love I found (Yeah, yeah)
Don't even know where he's at
Oh, but he did make me see what you mean to me (Yeah, yeah)
And I want you back
Oh, if you take me back (If I take you back)
I promise to spend (Do you promise to, promise to?)
The rest of our lives (Ooh, rest of our lives)
Makin' amends (Makin' amends)
Oh, I'd crawl on my knees (Yeah)
Oh, yes, I'd even do that (Ooh, would you do that?)
I'm fallin' apart, I broke my own heart
And I want you back
Yeah, I know what I've lost and I'm payin' the cost
And I want you back

[Outro: Steven Tyler, Dolly Parton, Both]
You did me wrong (I did you wrong)
I know that, I know that
You left me alone, yeah
Let me come home
You walked out on me, yeah
Why I'd do that? Why did I do that?
You asked to be free, baby
But now I don't wanna be
How could I trust ya?
Oh, you can trust me, you can trust me, just trust me
But you left me busted
Oh
Yeah, if you did it then (I know, I want you back)
You will, you will do it again (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back, I want you back)
Ooh, hey, hey, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
