You'll Want Me Back (02-20-26)

I am lonesome, gee, I am blue;
I’m dissatisfied;
If you leave me, what must I do?
Tell me why you lied!
After all I’ve been to you
Please don’t go away;
Someday you will feel this way, too,
Mark these words I say:
You’ll want me back when I won’t want you;
You’ll miss my hugs and these sweet kisses, too;
I never thought you would treat me this way;
You may go now, but you’ll be sorry someday!
You’ll want me back just as sure as fate,
You’ll miss me when it’s too late,
But when you return, I will have someone new;
You’ll want me back when I won’t want you!
Oh, you’ll want me back when I won’t want you;
You’ll soon find out what I say is true;
Why did you make me leave my old home town?
Now you found someone new and don’t want me around!
You’ll want me back and it won’t be so long,
I know you’ll think of me when things start to go wrong,
But you go your way, from now on, I am through!
You’ll want me back when I really won’t want you!
