You'll Want Me Back (02-20-26) - Ethel Waters

I am lonesome, gee, I am blue;

I’m dissatisfied;

If you leave me, what must I do?

Tell me why you lied!

After all I’ve been to you

Please don’t go away;

Someday you will feel this way, too,

Mark these words I say:

You’ll want me back when I won’t want you;

You’ll miss my hugs and these sweet kisses, too;

I never thought you would treat me this way;

You may go now, but you’ll be sorry someday!

You’ll want me back just as sure as fate,

You’ll miss me when it’s too late,

But when you return, I will have someone new;

You’ll want me back when I won’t want you!

Oh, you’ll want me back when I won’t want you;

You’ll soon find out what I say is true;

Why did you make me leave my old home town?

Now you found someone new and don’t want me around!

You’ll want me back and it won’t be so long,

I know you’ll think of me when things start to go wrong,

But you go your way, from now on, I am through!

You’ll want me back when I really won’t want you!
