It takes a fool to learn, it makes a fool to cry
It takes a lot to lose and a love to die
You came at me like a freight train
Then you left a mess like a hurricane
It's not like it was before so I want you back
My sun don’t shine no more so I want you back
No one's knocking at my door so I want you back
Oh oh I want you back
I'd sell my soul to get you back again
I'd hit you right on the long black train
I'd hold my breath till I'd turn blue
I'd do anything to get to you
It ain't like it was before so I want you back
My sun don’t shine no more so I want you back
No one's knocking at my door so I want you back
Oh oh I want you back
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise
I'll see you again on the other side
There ain't no way to turn and run
Don't you know it honey, you're the only one
It ain't like it was before so I want you back
My sun don’t shine no more so I want you back
No one's knocking at my door so I want you back
Oh oh I want you back
Oh oh I want you back
Oh oh I want you back
