If you don't believe what I say
You won't believe I'm not that way
And I never meant to turn the hurt around
I would be a fool to lose the love I found
And if you take me back, I'll let you know

I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back to me

And if you heard the whole thing before
Then once again, I'll tell you more
I would be a fool to ever let you go
Oh, I had to go away to finally know
How much I need you back, I need your love

I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back to me

I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back to me
If you'll come back, come back to me

Come back and I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me
If you'll come back, come back to me

Come back and I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh-oh-oh-h, I'll take you back, if you come back
I'll take you anywhere ..... FADE
