[Verse 1]
We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry? (How many times?)
Yes, I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
How can something so good go so bad?
How can something so right go so wrong?
I don't know, I don't have all the answers
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry? (How many times?)
Yes, I'm sorry

[Chorus]
Well, you know, you can't run, and you can't 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

[Verse 3]
I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry? (How many times?)
Ooh, yes, I'm sorry, (Sorry)
[Chorus]
Well, you know, you can't run, and you can't 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't run, and you can't hide
But I'm not leaving till it's all over
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1]
We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry? (How many times?)
Ooh, yes, I'm sorry (Yes, I'm sorry)

[Chorus]
Well, you know, you can't run, and you can't 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't run, and you can't hide
But I'm not leaving till it's all over
We've had our problems, but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please believe in me
