Michael: When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Your pretty face always made you stand out in a crowd.
Then 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:
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
J5: To show you that I love you.
Michael: Won't you please let me
J5: Back in your heart.
Michael: Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
J5: Let you go baby
Michael: 'Cause now since I see you in his arms
J5: I want you back
Michael: Yes, I do now
J5: I want you back
Michael: Oo oo baby
J5: I want you back
Michael: Yeah yeah yeah yeah
J5: I want you back
Michael: Now now now now
Trying to live without your love Is one long sleepless night
But I want to show you girl that I know wrong from right.
Every street I walk on I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't want around.
(Let me tell you now)
[Chorus]
Bridge:

Michael: Oh, baby, all I need one more chance...
J5: To show you that I love you
Michael: Now since I see you...
J5: I want you back
Your pretty face always made you stand out in a crowd.
