I'll Get You Back

What's going on here, yeah what's on your mind
why is your love failing me, and your eyes cryin'
well woops, I'm down and you're to blame
things ain't looking so good no more
in our little picture frame

Who could've seen the shattering of our dreams
our worlds colliding, girl, and nothing's as it seems
how could you make me feel so sad, too bad
maybe next time, baby, I'll get you back

You seem to think all boys love the same
well, the way your mind works is just a shame
I guess,
and as for the heart that beats beneath your breast,
you've got a lot to learn about loving me back
baby, but that's alright for now
'cause someday, somehow I'll get you back

Yeah, I'll take you down
to the dark side of town
see your eyes shine beneath the moon
you'll see the light in me
and the warmth I give for free
feel your lips smile when you hear me croon
that I'm still in love with you
if only you could see it's true
take that, you circumstantial evidence
I'll get you back, baby
for puttin' me on the fence

Now what's the use in lying, crying all over yourself
see it's me you've got stuffed up here on your mantle shelf
remember it was love and laughter we shared
not some monster you see inside me
that's got you all scared, now

Baby, why can't you dream those dreams
we used to dream together, like merging streams
how can you let it go away, fading away
maybe someday, baby, we'll get 'em back

I don't seem to be enough for your crazy heart
well, you could've let me know at the start
it's cruel,
after all those pretty songs I've written for you
you've almost made me want to take 'em all back
but baby, I never ever could
still, someday, somehow I'll get you back
