We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you got till you lose it
But that was then, this is now
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry (how many times)
Yes I'm sorry
Well how can something so good go so bad
How can something so right go so wrong
Well I don't know, I don't have all the answers
But I want you back, now how many times can I say I'm sorry (how many times)
Well you know, you can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me, ah yeah
Well I only wanted you as someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
You got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back, now how many times can I say I'm sorry (how many times)
Yes I'm sorry (sorry)
Well you know, you can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe me
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving until it's all over
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you
Cause they say you can't take it with you when you go, and I believe it
But taking what I've got, or being here with you
You know, I, I'd rather leave it
We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you got till you lose it
But that was then, this is now
And I want you back, how many times can I say I'm sorry (how many times)
Yes I'm sorry (yes I'm sorry)
Well you know, you can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving unless you come with me
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe me
You can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving until it's all over
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
oh, yeah
