Lyrics
This is your roving reporter, Scoop Newsworthy
Standing in front of the actual rehearsal hall
Where the Jackson 5 are preparing for their Indiana concert
We wish we could take you inside, but no one is allowed in while they're rehearsing, you see
So, what, hi
What are you doing?
Scoop Newsworthy
Yeah? What's going on?
The Jackson 5 is rehearsing in there, but you can't go in.
J-5?
J-5, J-5, but you can't go in- you're going to be thrown right out
Even if we wanted to go in there, we couldn't because the security is so tight
And any unauthorized individual going through that door will be forcibly ejected, you see
Folks, I'm sorry, but you can't go in there kiddies because the sign says "No admittance"
Scoop Newsworthy, I'll get 'em
Uh-huh-huh-huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart?
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Oh, oh baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground, yeah
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell ya now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart?
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Uh-huh
All I want
All I need
All I want
All I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby! (I want you back)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
And let me live again!
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Spare me of this cause (I want you back)
Give me back what I lost!
Oh darling, I need one more chance, ha
I'll show you that I love you
Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
I want you back! Ha
I want you back!
