I spent hours on the telephone
Tryin' to get a line
When I finally got through to you
Well, you said you were just fine
We joked about the weather
You said it always seemed to rain
I don't care about the weather
'Cause I want you back again
I want you back again
I couldn't think of what to say
I wished I'd planned ahead
For all the things that burn inside
Would have to go unsaid
You asked if I'd been traveling
And lately where I've been
Well, lately I've been nowhere
'Cause I want you back again
I want you back again
We ran out of conversation
And you made an excuse to go
You were going away for the weekend
And you'd call me in a week or so
I put down the receiver
I started to write a song
The words came out so easy
'Cause I want you back again
I want you back again
Spent hours on the telephone
Tryin' to get a line
When I finally got through to you
Well, you said you were just fine
We joked about the weather
You said it always seemed to rain
I don't care about the weather
'Cause I want you back again
I want you back again
