[Intro: All & JC]
If I'm not the one you want
Take your time to figure out
(Hey yeah)

[Verse 1]
I'm staring at your picture every night
The scent of you still lingers in my mind
I wonder if you're alone and feel alright
And the sun has come out of the clouds

[Verse 2: Justin]
And sometimes when I listen to our song
The night seems so cold and far too long
I wanna call you up, 'cause in the end
I keep writing letters to my garbage can

[Pre-Chorus: JC]
Lately
Feels like I'm going crazy
And, baby
Come and lay down beside me

[Chorus]
If I'm not the one you want, who's he?
Take your time to figure out, you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need

[Verse 3: JC]
I feel like it's on you I can depend
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Enough of building castles in the sand
Why can't we be forever?

[Pre-Chorus: Justin]
Lately
Feels like I'm going crazy
And, baby
Come and lay down beside me

[Chorus]
If I'm not the one you want, who's he?
Take your time to figure out, you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need
If I'm not the one you want, who's he?
Take your time to figure out, you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need

[Bridge]
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I know that you will be mine
And somehow, I wish I could rewind
And leave all the worries behind

[Middle 8 (w/ JC)]
If I'm not the one you want
I'll be the one you need
Take your time to figure out
I'll be the one you need
(I'll be the one you need)

[Chorus: JC & Justin]
If I'm not the one you want, who's he?
Take your time to figure out, you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need
(I'll be the one you need)
(I'll be the one you need)

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as ★NSYNC, formally stylized as ‘N Sync) was an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the group’s second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week.

In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, *NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, Nelly, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Céline Dion and Gloria Estefan.
