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...
