    Oh, oh oh
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back
    It's the last words she said to me
    Now I'm wishing she was still here with me
    You're gonna need me, need me one day
    And now that day's here, your man gotta shed tears, right?
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back

    You never miss a good thing 'til it leaves you
    And finally, I realize that I need you
    I want you back
    Baby girl, I need you back
    Gotta have you back, babe
    Heartbroken when you left my world
    Man, I wish I would've kept my girl
    And I love you
    I don't know what I'm gon' do without my baby

    It's driving me crazy (it's driving me crazy)
    Because I'm missing my baby (missing my baby)
    I'm going out of my mind and I'm running out of time
    Oh, I just wish I could find you, girl, oh-oh
    Said, I'm about to go crazy (about to go crazy)
    'Cause I've been needing you lately (needing you lately)
    I'm going out of my head and all the things that I said
    I wish that I never said them now

    Aww, baby, what you say now?
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back
    And still I want you, want you, want you, want you, want you
    I, need you, babe

    If I could rewind the time and get inside your mind
    I would take back all my words
    I didn't see it
    I couldn't see what I was doing, babe
    See, baby girl, I was blind and I wish I could try
    To be the man that you deserve
    Give me one chance to make it work, ah baby

    It's driving me crazy (it's driving me crazy)
    Because I'm missing my baby (missing my baby)
    I'm going out of my mind and I'm running out of time
    Oh, I just wish I could find you, girl, oh I
    Said, I'm about to go crazy (about to go crazy)
    'Cause I've been needing you lately (lately)
    I'm going out of my head, all the things that I said
    I wish that I never said them now

    Mmm, you're gonna want me back
    Wish I could throw it back
    I want it the way it used to be, oh
    You're gonna need me, need me one day
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back

    Uh, yeah, uh
    Yo, I'm trying to stay strong, I don't wanna crack
    But I need her and she told me I was gon' want her back
    Should've believed her, now I'm wishing I could throw me back
    To that exact spot where we found L-O-V-E at
    Lose some, then I lose again, when am I gonna win some?
    I said a lot of things out of anger, but I meant some
    I brought a lot of things to the table besides income
    I just want things to go back to how they used to be
    I was used to you and I thought you were used to me
    Time is against me
    You never miss something 'til it's gone
    That's my word, ma, you convinced me
    It might not happen, but I'm still hoping
    And my heart is broken, but the door is still open
    Pillow still soaking, your boy still loc'ing
    Dutch still lit and a bottle still open
    And if I don't get another chance, it'll be hard to get focused

    Give me one chance to make it work
    It's driving me crazy
    Because I'm missing my baby
    I'm going out of my mind, I'm running out of time
    I just wish I could find you, girl
    Said, I'm about to go crazy
    'Cause I've been needing you lately
    The love of my life
    But I wasn't loving you right, baby
    It's driving me crazy
    Because I'm missing my baby (mmm, you're gonna want me back)
    I'm going out of my mind and I'm running out of time
    I just wish I could find you, girl (you're gonna need me)
    Said, I'm about to go crazy
    'Cause I've been needing you lately (mmm, you're gonna want me back)
    I'm going out of my head, all the things that I said
    I wish that I never said them now

    Mmm, you're gonna want me back
    It's the last words she said to me
    Now I'm wishing she was still here with me
    You're gonna need me, need me one day
    Now that day's here, your man gotta shed tears
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back
    I'm sitting by the phone
    Realizing she ain't ever coming home
    You're gonna need me, need me one day
    Mmm, you're gonna want me back Writer/s: Brian Holland, Eddie Holland, Justin Gregory Smith, Lamont Herbert Dozier, Patrick J. Que Smith, Richard Preston Butler Jr., Richard Wayne Wylie
