Back when we used to say
That things would never change
Before you went away
Back to the golden days (I'm wantin' you back)
Back when we used to ball
Back then we had it all
Now I'm just missing and reminiscing
I know you're gone (I'm wantin' you back)
And I ain't gonna lie
It's been a long road
I've seen a lot of days
A lot of sorrow (I'm wantin' you back)
And if tomorrow comes
I thank the Lord again
I'm missing you until then
I'm wantin' you back
Rewind the clock when we was rockin' it was you and me
I miss your laughin' it ain't half of what it used to be
Sometimes I choose to believe
That you're right by my side
I see this in my dreams
That's nearly every night
It seems like yesterday
But it was so long ago
I hope you're smiling, hope you're writing, hope you're not alone
I hope you're doing good, I just wanna see you sigh, if I could only turn back time
I'm wantin' you back
Back when we used to say
That things would never change
Before you went away
Back to the golden days (I'm wantin' you back)
Back when we used to ball
Back then we had it all
Now I'm just missing and reminiscing
I know you're gone (I'm wantin' you back)
And I ain't gonna lie
It's been a long road
I've seen a lot of days
A lot of sorrow (I'm wantin' you back)
And if tomorrow comes
I thank the Lord again
I'm missing you until then
I'm wantin' you back
I try to keep it goin' and move along without you
But this heart of mine would not let me stop thinking hard about you
I feel so alone
Can't believe that you're gone
I've been looking at your pictures all night long
It ain't the same no more no matter what nobody say
It's hard of holding back when our favorite song is playing uh
So now what to do do, I gotta get through through
If we could only start brand new
I'm wantin' you back
Back when we used to say
That things would never change
Before you went away
Back to the golden days (I'm wantin' you back)
Back when we used to ball
Back then we had it all
Now I'm just missing and reminiscing
I know you're gone (I'm wantin' you back)
And I ain't gonna lie
It's been a long road
I've seen a lot of days
A lot of sorrow (I'm wantin' you back)
And if tomorrow comes
I thank the Lord again
I'm missing you until then
I never will forget ya
And if we ever meet again
I'd tell you that I'd missed ya missed ya
And I let you know I meant every word that I said
But I gotta do what I must do to move on with my life, yeah
And I know you want me to so I'm a do what's only right, yeah
I never let you go
Wanna bring back before
But that ain't reality so-oh
I'm wantin' you back
Back when we used to say
That things would never change
Before you went away
Back to the golden days (I'm wantin' you back)
Back when we used to ball
Back then we had it all
Now I'm just missing and reminiscing
I know you're gone (I'm wantin' you back)
And I ain't gonna lie
It's been a long road
I've seen a lot of days
A lot of sorrow (I'm wantin' you back)
And if tomorrow comes
I thank the Lord again
I'm missing you until then
I'm wantin' you back
And it'll be all right
Yeah it's gonna be alright
But it'll be alright
Yeah it's gonna be alright
But it'll be alright (I'm gonna miss you, yeah I'm gonna miss you)
