Lyrics:
*
(Ah) Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you, baby
Ah, take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you, baby

I thought the grass was greener on the other side
Thought the sun shined brighter without saying goodbye
There's a cloud in my hand
Tears fall like rain

I wanna come home again
I want to

(* Repeat)

Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love in this world without you, no, no
Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love, baby (Without you)

In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothing else
Every place I go, everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and —

(* Repeat)

I'm on my way back to you
And I wanna make it up to you
And all the problems that I caused you
If it takes my life, I'll make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me

(* Repeat with ad lib and fade)
