英文乡村歌曲：The Civil Wars - I Want You Back

 [Verse 1: Joy Williams]

 

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 bunch¹

 

One glance was all it took

 

Now it's much too late for me to go and take a second look

 

 

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]

 

Oh, baby, give me one more chance

 

Won't you please let me in your heart?

 

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go

 

Now that I see you in his arms

 

I want you back

 

I want you back

 

I want you back

 

 

[Verse 2: Joy Williams]

 

Trying to live without your love

 

Is like one long sleepless² night

 

Let me show you, boy, that I really know I know wrong from right

 

'Cause every street you're walking on, you leave tear stains³ on the ground

 

Follow boy, I didn't even want, didn't even want you around

 

 

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]

 

Oh, baby, give me one more chance

 

To show you I love you

 

Won't you please let me in your heart?

 

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go

 

Let you go, baby

 

Now that I see you in his arms

 

Oh, now that I see you in his arms

 

I want you back

 

I want you back

 

I want you back
