Well I don't know how it happened
Must have been something I said
We had some words, she said some things
I guess I must have lost my head

It's been a week since I left her
And I can't go on this way
I'll call her up and swallow my pride
When she says hello I'll say

I want you back again
Oooohhhh what a fool I've been
I won't do that again
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
I want you back again

--- Instrumental ---

So I gather up all of my courage
And I found my last dime
I need it so , but God only knows
If we can make up this time

I tremble as I dial her number
Ohh I hope I'm not to late
I say it's me, and I hold my breath
And softly I hear her say

I want you back again
Oooohhhh what a fool I've been
I won't do that again
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
I want you back again
