01 I want you back girl 1975

This was one of the last songs I wrote in my ‘early period’ and I certainly never played it anywhere. Flipping though the pages of my old songbook and running things through on the guitar it seemed a bit flat so I scored a jerky piano part and some drums and added the simple guitar riff which livened it up no end.

I’ve been thinking… are the chains between us linking
No pretending … seems our lines of life are blending
I… I’d like to try
And I can see that twinkle in your eye
I… I want you back girl

I’m tired of waiting.. sitting here just contemplating
On what got between us.. those happy people could have been us
I… I’d like to try
And I can see that twinkle in your eye
I… I want you back girl

Those eyes shining like rainbows
In my mind when I’m alone
Time flies but something inside grows
Don’t it feel like home
Oh I.. I want you back girl
