I Want It Back

  1997

Where did I go wrong, when all you did was love me
When did the bond break, you know we were so close
Maybe it’s my father always shoving me aside

Perhaps my mother, you know, I never understood
I can’t remember when it was that I grew up
I got too busy playing this guitar out in the bars

Chasing my foolish dreams, you know they never were enough

I let you fall through my fingers, I let time pass me by

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t give enough

Another chance to show you my love

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t say enough

Now I’m so sorry I was such a selfish girl

 

How my mind wonders back to the house where I grew up

It roams the emptiness searching for your ghost

How my heart hungers once again to feel your touch

It needs the comfort that you gave when I was young

I know your peaceful now on the other side

And all the pain is gone that you had when you were here

I can’t stand knowing that I caused any of that

So I’ll spend my time remembering, live my life regretting

 

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t give enough

Another chance to show you my love

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t say enough

Now Im so sorry I was such a selfish girl

 

Where did I go wrong, when all you did was love me

Who cut the aapron strings, I was such a happy child

But all the laughter that you brought into my life

Has disolved like snow to water, and I move on

I took far too much for granted

What I wouldn’t give to have you here again

I need you here with me

 

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t give enough

Another chance to show you my love

I want it back, I want it back

I know I didn’t say enough

Now Im so sorry I was such a selfish girl

Please forgive me

     I lost her in 1996. Not a day goes by that I don't feel this way. I still can not make it through this song. For the love of my life, Dee Dee. "I love you good and hard."
