I shoulda seen it coming baby
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
I must've been blind

She didn't give me a warning
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong
But when I woke up this mornin'
She was gone gone gone

She said
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
Said take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same

She didn't tell me about it
Am I supposed to read your mind
You make me get up and shout it
It's a crime crime crime

I shoulda seen it coming baby
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
I must've been blind, blind, blind

She said
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
She said take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same, yeah

Oh won't you take me back
Oh won't you take me back
She said oh won't you take me back, oh
Oh won't you take me back

Well i should have seen it coming
Should have seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needed me
But I must have been blind

She didn't give me a warning
She said i shouldn't treat you wrong
When i woke up this morning she was gone, hey!

Oh won't you take me back
Oh won't you take me back
Oh won't you take me back
No no no no no no

Oh won't you take me back
Oh won't you take me back
Now what am I supposed to say
Oh won't you take me back
Oh won't you take me back
