I Want You Back – Jackson 5 (1969) 의 가사와 링크

영화 가디언즈 오브 갤럭시 1편 중 엔딩 부분에서 화분에 심어진 어린 그루트가 이 노래에 맞춰 몰래 춤을 추는 장면을 영화를 본 사람이라면 다 기억할 것이다.

(80년대 음악에 익숙한 사람이라면 더욱 재미나게 봤을 영화지만, 전반적인 80년대 대중문화의 집약체를 보여준 영화는 최근 본 레디 플레이어 원이라고 생각한다.)

이 링크를 타고 가면 Jackon 5 의 옛날 모습 (옛날 방송의상과 율동! 게다가 어린 원래의 마이클 잭슨)을 감상할 수 있다.

노래 가사를 요약하면, 곁에 있을 땐 소중한 걸 모르고 소홀히 여기다가, 떠나고 나서야 아쉬움에 뒷북 치는 내용이라 하겠다. 역시나 ‘있을 때 잘하자’ 라는 말은 동서고금을 막론하고 진리인 듯.

Uh-huh huh huh huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh

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

[CHORUS]
Oh baby give me one more chance (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)
Ya ya ya ya (I want you back)
Na na na na

Tryin' 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 tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
[CHORUS]
Oh baby all I need is one more chance (show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Uh-huh
A buh buh buh buh A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need

Oh just one more chance to show you that I love you
baby!

(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
Let me live again

Oh baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
Gimme back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance ha
I tell ya that I love you
