[Verse 1]
The reason that I'm calling you
Is to let you know I thought it through
And after much debate, in fact, I guess I'll take you back
I heard from friends you've moved around
And maybe you have settled down
So when you get this message, please call me back

[Chorus 1]
It's been a rough few years for me, I moved back with my family
But I'll still take you back
Maybe it's too late to call or maybe it's the alcohol
But I think I want you back, I guess I'll take you back

[Verse 2]
I realize it's been a while
You might be married or have a child
So give me your address and I can help you pack
I need you worse now than before
I'll offer you the chance once more
'Cause everything considered, guess I'll take you back

[Chorus 2]
I know that things had ended bad, but let's stop living in the past
I think I want you back
Let's forget the things we said and start again with clearer heads
I guess I want you back, I guess I'll take you back
[Verse 3]
Please don't make me ask again
My calling card is nearly spent
And life without you has been so bad
I don't require apologies
Just think of what I'm offering
I think I want you back, I guess I'll take you back

[Refrain]
I think I want you back. I guess I'll take you back
