The Isley Brothers
Got to Have You Back
[Chorus]
Got to have you back (Got to have you back)
I need you (Got to have you back)

[Verse 1]
A jealous lie hurt my foolish pride
Made me break your heart
Now our love has died
I see a closing door, a door of never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me
Now I face a storm of tears
You took the sunshine from my face
Now I'm just another man
Who walks the undestined way
Without your guiding hand
I'm a poor example of a man
Pride made a fool of me
Now I'm drowning in misery
Misery is drowning me

[Chorus]
And I got to have you back (Got to have you back)
I need you (Got to have you back)
Praying night and day the heaven must lead you
'Cause I need you, girl
[Verse 2]
So cold, it's a loneliness
So dark is emptiness
Since you've been gone indeed
Oh, gone is the love I need
Pride destroyed the love we knew
But not my need for you
Without your love around
My whole world is falling down
Falling down all around

[Chorus]
And I (Got to have you back)
Got to have you back
Got to have you back
Got to have you back

[Outro]
Oh, I see a closing door, a door of never more
A door of jealousy between your love and me
I got to have you back
I'm drowning in misery (Got to have you back)
My pride made a fool of me (Got to have you back)
My whole world is falling down (Got to have you back)
Without your sweet love around (Got to have you back)
I got to have you back (Got to have you back)
I got to have you back (Got to have you back)
