[Intro: AJ]
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes

[Verse 1: AJ]
Listen, girl
I don't know where to start
But every word I say
Comes straight from the heart
I've been so wrong
I never meant to hurt you
Oh, girl, I'm sorry
For what I put you through

[Pre-Chorus 1: Brian]
Girl, I'd do anything
For one more chance (one more chance)
'Cause I want you back again (want you back)

[Chorus: AJ with All]
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I see your face and I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me?
Now I realize, I want you girl and no other
Every time I close my eyes, you're all that I see

[Verse 2: AJ & Brian]
You and I shared a life together
Each other was all we'd ever need (all we'd ever need)
I thought that you would stay with me forever
But I took for granted the love you gave to me

[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ]
I keep on trying (keep on trying)
Until the end ('till the end)
Baby, I need you back with me again
(I need you back)

[Chorus: Brian & All]
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I see your face and I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me?
Now I realize, I want you girl and no other
Every time I close my eyes, you're all that I see

[Bridge: Brian]
And girl, I'm going out of my mind
I miss you so much
I don't know what to do (what to do)
Please say it's just a matter of time
Until I feel your touch
Until you let me come back to you

[Verse 3: Kevin]
I think about you girl every-night
I'm in love with you and it feels so right
I never meant to hurt you or cause you pain
I was just caught up in that lying game
But now those days are over
I've changed my ways
And now I'm counting the minutes
I'm counting the days
Until you let me come back
Until you let me start
To find a new way to get back into your heart

[Pre-Chorus 1: Brian]
Girl, I'd do anything
For one more chance (one more chance)
'Cause I want you, I want you back again

[Chorus: AJ, Brian & All]
Every time I close my eyes
I see your face and I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me?
Now that I realize
I want you girl and no other
Every time I close my eyes
You're all that I see

[Outro: AJ, Brian & All]
Every time I close my eyes
All I can see is you loving me
Close your eyes
You're all that I need, baby, yeah (realize)
Oh, now I realize that every time I close my eyes
Close my eyes
I see me holding and kissing you, baby, yeah
Every time I close my eyes
I see your face and I wonder
I wonder, baby, yeah (close your eyes)
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me?
Now I realize (I realize)
I want you girl and no other

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
