I Want It Back Lyrics - A Few Small Repairs - Shawn Colvin

I lost the thread, I lost the map 

It's not a feeling, it's a fact 

I had it once, I was on track 

Why won't it stay? I want it back 

I see you there in that magazine 

You're looking smart, you sound supreme 

You got such lip, you know the street 

You been around, you took some heat 

You mighta killed, you might be cruel 

You might be stupid but we love you 

You're in the paper, you're in the air 

You're in my head, you're everywhere 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back 

You're so extreme, you're feast or famine 

You got one mission, just like a Salmon 

You said in life, mistakes are many 

How come you never admit to any? 

Are you for real or are you bluffing? 

You really get me, famous for nothing 

And every morning you got a name 

In a world where people all look the same 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I can't give love, I don't know how 

I write in code so you won't know 

I was on drugs, I took a nap 

I didn't mean it, I want it back 

I dreamed again of paradise 

I floated steady, it felt so nice 

To sell your soul, just think of that 

I'm halfway there, I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back 

I want it back
