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...
