Yesterday the leaves were brown And I was wearing a big frown Because my lover left me for the girl That he had loved before The sky was cloudy then turned blue Because I saw it was no use To want someone whose heart was elsewhere So I decided not to care, oh yeah He wants me back, but he can't have me He wants me back, there's no denyin' He wants me back, he's on his knees Now we'll see who's cryin' The gra** is greener without you, it's true So many things for me to do Living my life for me and on my own It is so great to be alone And now you're knocking on my door, ha ha You've realized you love me more Well I've no time to hear apologies I've got the world to see He wants me back, but he can't have me He wants me back, there's no denyin' He wants me back, he's on his knees Now we'll see who's cryin' He wants me back, but he can't have me He wants me back, there's no denyin' He wants me back, he's on his knees Now we'll see who's cryin' (He wants me back) He wants me back, he wants me back (But he can't have me...no, no, no, no...no, no, no...) He wants me ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ck... (Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ck...) He's going back He's going back...
