Lirik 'I Want You Back' dari 'NSYNC
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed, yeah
So tell me what to do now
'Cause
I want you back
It's hard to say I'm sorry
It's hard to make the things I did undone
A lesson I've learned too well for sure
So don't hang up the phone now
I'm tryna figure out just what to do
I'm goin' crazy without you
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed (Yeah)
So tell me what to do now
When I want you back
Baby, I remember
The way you used to look at me and say
"Promises never last forever"
I told you not to worry
I said that everything would be alright
I didn't know then that you were right
You're all I ever wanted
(Baby, you me all)
You're all I ever needed (Yeah)
So tell me what to do now
When I want you back (Back)
I want you back
Oh oh
Yeah
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
Girl, what can I do?
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
Tell me, what can I do?
You're all I ever wanted
(You're the one I want)
You're all I ever needed
(You're the one I need)
So tell me what to do now
(Tell me, what can I do?)
When I want you back
You're all I ever wanted, hey
You're all I ever needed, yeah
So tell me what to do now
When I want you back. (Far)
