Lyrics:

Oh-woh-woh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh...

You never expect it to be in your wildest dreams

So take a step backwards for a little while

You'll find it there

It's somethin' that I can't explain

So I remain trapped inside

Still holdin' strong

Still holding o-on to you

To you

Take me back to you

It's been a long time

Although every night

I think of you

It's such a lonely life

I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away

I didn't know that it would be your last time with me

You said - life ain't worth living if nobody cared

You said that all the time

Oh I take a step back and see your starin' eyes

I see you on the day you die

Oh-woh-woh-oh-oh

Take me back to you

It's been a long time

Although every night

I think of you

It's such a lonely life (yeah)

And take me back to you

Take me back to you

Songwriter: Chin Injeti / Shawn Smith

Take me back to you

It's been a long time

Although every night

I think of you

It's such a lonely life

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Take me back to you

Take me back to you
