Want You Back

I was treading water 'til the minute we met

'Til you caught a teacher's daughter with a dangerous text

I read it like a Bible and I wore it like a bulletproof vest

Found myself a lover that made everything rhyme

Slept under your covers, it made everything right

Yeah, I was the DJ and the darling of your passenger side

So I know that you did bad

But if one more person says it, I might go mad

Yeah, I know it didn't last

And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had

The issue is I know all of this and I

I still want you back

I still want you back

♪

Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn't sing

But baby when you touch her, I bet she doesn't flinch

She'll have you every summer when I only had you half of a spring

You left like an assassin, maybe that's for the best

'Cause if you'd told me what would happen, I think I would've begged

So you got to be a coward and I salvaged a little self-respect

Yeah, I know that you did bad

But if one more person says it, I might go mad

Yeah, I know it didn't last

And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had

The issue is I know all of this and I

I still want you back

♪

I am not allowed to want you any longer

I must go out with a stranger

I must kiss him to get stronger

So I don't tell a soul

But I'd be yours again tomorrow if you wanted

But you don't wanna

So I know that you did bad

But if one more person says it, I might go mad

It wasn't real, it was for me, but you know that

And I bet you've thrown away our photographs

The issue is I know all of this and I

I still want you back

I still want you back

I still want you back
