[Verse 1]
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 can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Oh, 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
And I want you back
How many times can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Well, you know
[Chorus 1]
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
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Oh, yes, I'm sorry
(Sorry)
Well, you know
[Chorus 2]
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 can run, and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you
[Bridge]
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'd rather leave it
[Verse 3]
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 can I say I'm sorry?
(How many times?)
Oh, yes, I'm sorry
(Yes, I'm sorry)
Well, you know
[Chorus 2]
