[Verse 1: Brian with Howie]
Everybody knows
That I was such a fool to ever let go of you
But baby, I was wrong
Yeah, I know I said, "we'd be better off alone"
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart
I didn't mean to break your heart
But baby, here I am

[Chorus: AJ with All]
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you

[Verse 2: Nick with AJ, (Howie), Nick with Brian]
I know you're in there
And you can make me wait
But I'm not going away
It's the least that I can do
Just to tell you face to face
I was lying to myself (lying to myself)
Now I'm dying in this hell (dying in this hell)
Girl, I know you're mad
I can't blame you for being mad
But baby, here I am

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And now I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in? (let me in)
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you

[Bridge: All & Nick]
If you could see these tears I'm crying
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
Hear my heart that's barely breathing
You will see a different man

[Reprise: AJ & All]
But baby, here I am
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you

[Chorus: All, Nick, (Brian) & AJ]
(Come on) Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in? (let me in)
I was running from the truth (oh, no-no)
And now I'm crawling back to you (darling)
Banging on your front door (darling)
My pride spilled on the floor (darling, yeah!)
My hands and knees are bruised
Now I'm crawling back to you (yeah!)

[Outro: Nick, Howie, (Brian) & Kevin]
Now I'm crawling back to you
Crawling back to you
(Crawling back to you)
Crawling back to you

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.
