  • I guess now it's time for me to give up
    I feel it's time
    Got a picture of you beside me
    Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
    Oh yeah
    Got a fist of pure emotion
    Got a head of shattered dreams
    Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

    Whatever I said, whatever I did
    I didn't mean it
    I just want you back for good
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    Whenever I'm wrong
    Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
    You'll be right and understood
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    I want you back for good

    Unaware but underlined
    I figured out this story (no no)
    It wasn't good (no no)
    But in a corner of my mind (corner of my mind)
    I celebrated glory
    But that was not to be
    In the twist of separation
    You excelled at being free
    Can't you find (can't you find) a little room inside for me

    Whatever I said, whatever I did
    I didn't mean it
    I just want you back for good
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good) See, I want you back for good
    Whenever I'm wrong
    Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
    You'll be right and understood
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    I want you back for good

    And we'll be together
    This time is forever (forever)
    We'll be fighting, and forever we will be
    So complete in our love
    We will never be uncovered again

    Whatever I said, whatever I did
    I didn't mean it
    I just want you back for good
    (want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    Whenever I'm wrong
    Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
    You'll be right and understood
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    See, I want you back for good

    Whatever I said, whatever I did
    I didn't mean it
    I just want you back for good
    (Want you back, want you back, want you back for good) I want you back for good
    Whenever I'm wrong (whenever I'm wrong)
    Just tell me the song and I'll sing it
    You'll be right and understood
    I want you back (want you back, want you back, want you back for good)
    See, I want you back for good
    Oh yeah

    I guess now it's time that you came back for good Writer/s: Gary Barlow
