I Want You Back Again
Redemption Dial: A Heart's Apology in Don Williams' Melody
Lyrics
Well I don't know how it happened
Expressing uncertainty about the cause of the relationship issue.
Must have been something I said
Suspecting that something said might have triggered the problem.
We had some words, she said some things
Referring to a disagreement with the partner and exchanged hurtful words.
I guess I must have lost my head
Realizing that emotional reactions led to poor judgment.
It's been a week since I left her
Highlighting the duration since leaving the partner.
And I can't go on this way
Expressing emotional difficulty in continuing this way.
I'll call her up and swallow my pride
Deciding to call the partner and overcome pride.
When she says hello I'll say
Anticipating the conversation with the partner.
I... want you back again
Stating the desire to reconcile and restart the relationship.
Oooohhhh what a fool I've been
Acknowledging a sense of foolishness or regret.
I... won't do that again
Committing not to repeat the mistakes made in the past.
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
Describing the emotional aftermath with tears and heartache.
I want you back again
Reiterating the strong desire to reconcile and reunite.
So I gather up all of my courage
Summoning courage to address the situation.
And I found my last dime
Explaining the sacrifice of the last dime for a chance to make amends.
I need it so , but God only knows
Expressing the need for reconciliation despite financial difficulties.
If we can make up this time
Expressing uncertainty about the possibility of reconciling.
I tremble as I dial her number
Conveying nervousness while dialing the partner's number.
Ohh I hope I'm not to late
Expressing hope that the attempt at reconciliation is not too late.
I say it's me, and I hold my breath
Identifying oneself and waiting anxiously for a response.
And softly I hear her say
Receiving a response from the partner.
I... want you back again
Reiterating the desire for reconciliation.
Ohh what a fool I've been
Acknowledging past mistakes or foolishness.
I... won't do that again
Promising not to repeat the same errors.
My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend
Describing ongoing emotional distress and heartache.
I want you back again...
Repeating the strong desire to reunite and reconcile.
