You said it's over now, it's just not right

There's a better place for you, not with me tonight

You turned and walked away, I can't believe my eyes

Can't sleep at night thinking of how it used to be, that love in disguise

'Cause, they can't give what I got, can't stop your pain

Can't love you like I do, I want you back again

Maybe they'd try with money, or buy you fancy clothes

But when it's dark and lonely, do they ever hold you close?

They take you out in style, treat you right

Give you all the things I never could, perfect in the light

But don't you think of me in the quiet of the night?

I can't take it no more; we were so right in our flight

'Cause they can't give what I got, can't stop your pain

Can't love you like I do, I want you back again

Maybe they'd try with money, or buy you fancy clothes

But when it's dark and lonely, do they ever hold you close?

Take me back, you’re gonna need me

Take me back, you’re gonna see

All those things we did, where'd they go?

All those dreams we had, let's start them anew

You said it couldn't last, we were meant to part

A pair like us, doomed from the start

But you looked at me, I had to know why

Why'd you leave me for those wandering eyes?

'Cause they can't give what I've got, can't stop your pain

Can't love you like I do, I want you back again

Maybe they'd try with money, or buy you fancy clothes

But when it's dark and lonely, do they ever hold you close?

Take me back, you're gonna take me

Take me back, don't you break me

You're gonna see, you'll come back to me

Take me back, where we should be
