[Intro: Usher, Just Blaze & Sample]
Real talk, Usher
Just Blaze, you know
Oh, oh ohh
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
It's the last words she said to me
Now I'm wishin' she was still here with me
(You're gonna need me, need me one day)
And now that day's here, your man gotta shed tears, right?!
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)

[Verse 1: Usher]
You never miss a good thing 'til it leaves ya
And finally, I realize that I need ya
I want you back
Baby girl, I need you back
Gotta have you back, babe
Heartbroken when you left my world
Man, I wish I would've kept my girl
I love you
I don't know what I'm gon' do without my baby

[Chorus: Usher]
It's drivin' me crazy (It's drivin' me crazy)
'Cause I'm missin' my baby (Missin' my baby)
I'm goin' out of my mind and I'm runnin' out of time
Oh, I just wish I could find you, girl, oh-oh
Said, I'm 'bout to go crazy ('Bout to go crazy)
'Cause I've been needin' you lately (Needin' you lately)
I'm goin' out of my head and all the things that I said
I wish that I never said 'em now

[Bridge 1: Usher & Sample]
Aww, baby, what you say now?
Mmm, you're gonna want me back
And still, I want you, want you, want you, want you, want you
I need you, babe

[Verse 2: Usher & Sample]
If I could rewind the time and get inside your mind
I would take back all my words
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
I didn't see it
I couldn't see what I was doin', babe (Oh)
See, baby girl, I was blind and I wish I could try
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
To be the man that you deserve
Give me one chance to make it work, (Ah, baby)

[Chorus: Usher]
It's drivin' me crazy (It's drivin' me crazy)
'Cause I'm missin' my baby (Missin' my baby)
I'm goin' out of my mind and I'm runnin' out of time
Oh, I just wish I could find you, girl, oh-oh
Said, I'm 'bout to go crazy ('Bout to go crazy)
'Cause I've been needin' you lately (Needin' you lately)
I'm goin' out of my head and all the things that I said
I wish that I never said 'em now

[Bridge 2: Usher & Sample]
Mmm, you're gonna want me back
(Oh-oh) Wish I could throw it back
I want it the way it used to be, oh, oh
(You're gonna need me)
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
Give me one chance to make it work

[Chorus: Usher & Sample]
It's drivin' me crazy (It's drivin' me crazy)
'Cause I'm missin' my baby (I'm missin' my baby, yeah)
I'm goin' out of my mind, runnin' out of time
I just wish I could find you, girl, oh baby
Said, I'm 'bout to go crazy ('Bout to go crazy)
'Cause I've been needin' you lately (Needin' you lately)
The love of my life
But I wasn't lovin' you right, baby, yeah, yeah
It's drivin' me crazy (It's drivin' me crazy)
'Cause I'm missin' my baby (Missin' my baby)
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
I'm goin' out of my mind and I'm runnin' out of time
I just wish I could find you, girl (You're gonna need me)
Said, I'm 'bout to go crazy ('Bout to go crazy)
'Cause I've been needin' you lately (Needin' you lately)
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
Lately, I'm goin' out of my head, all the things that I said
I wish that I never said 'em now

[Outro: Usher & Sample]
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
It's the last words she said to me
Now I'm wishin' she was still here with me
(You're gonna need me, need me one day)
Now that day's here, your man gotta shed tears
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)
I'm sittin' by the phone
Realizin' she ain't ever coming home
(Oh-oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
(You're gonna need me, need me one day)
(Mmm, you're gonna want me back)

With a career spanning over twenty-five years, Usher Raymond has become one of the most influential voices in contemporary R&B. Having sold over 75 million records worldwide, also attaining nine number-one records on the Billboard 100 charts, he is one of the most accomplished R&B singers in the world.

Coming into the scene in 90’s under the guidance of a young Puff Daddy finding his way. It wasn’t until he connected with the up-and-coming producer Jermaine Dupri did Usher begin having his success with his second and third albums, My Way and 8701.
