  • 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 do I have to say I'm sorry, yes I'm sorry

    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
    But I want you back
    How many times can I say I'm sorry

    You know, you can run, and you can hide
    But I'm now leaving 'less you come with me
    We've had our problems but I'm on your side
    You're all I need, please believe in me, oh yeah

    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 do I have to say I'm sorry, yes, I'm sorry

    You know, you can run, and you can hide
    But I'm not leaving less you come with me
    We've had our problems but I'm on your side
    You're all I need, please believe me

    You know, you can run, and you can 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
    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

    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 do I have to say I'm sorry, yes I'm sorry
    You know you can run, and you can hide
    But I'm not leaving less you come with me
    We've had our problems but I'm on your side
    You're all I need, please believe in me

    You can run, and you can hide
    But I'm not leaving until it's all over
    We've had our problems but I'm on your side
    You're all I need, please believe in me Writer/s: Daryl Stoermer, Phillip David Charles Collins
