Steemit Open Mic Week # 73 - I want you back (Jackson 5) Cover song.
Hello Steemit!
One more week , one more song ! Today is a little different for me since it's the first time a submit a song singing by myself in english. As you may know, I'm from Ecuador and a native spanish speaker so singing in english gets my tongue twisted a little ! but i decided to give it a go anyways ( and messed the lyrics a little among the way! haha )
"I want you back" has been one of my all-time favorite songs since I was a kid, maybe I heard my mom play it in the house, not sure. As I arranged it for acoustic guitar it prove to be quite challenging , there are a lot of chords moving around! Crazy to think this quite advanced harmony was in pop songs back in those days!
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na
