[Intro: Michael]
Uh-huh huh huh huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
[Verse 1: Michael]
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
[Chorus: Michael & Jackson 5]
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 (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
[Post-Chorus: Michael & Jackson 5]
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
[Verse 2: Michael]
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
Let me tell you now
[Chorus: Michael & Jackson 5]
Oh, baby, all I need is 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 (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh
[Bridge: Michael]
A buh buh buh buh
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need
[Chorus 2: Jermaine, Michael & Jackson 5]
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
(I want you back)
[Jackie + (Jackson 5)]
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
[Jermaine]
Let me live again
[Chorus 3: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
[Jackie]
Spare me of this cause
[Jermaine]
Gimme back what I lost
[Outro: Michael]
Oh baby I need one more chance ha
I tell ya that I love you
Oh! Oh! Oh! I want you back!
