From the recording I Want You Back in My Life (Remastered)
Lyrics
[Verse]
Was it all in my head?
In my heart I regret
The things that I did and I said
When I was with you
[Verse 2]
There's something in my brain
It's making me go insane
It's making me go insane
When I'm without you
[Chorus]
Don't mess with my emotions
I told you that before
Don't leave me in the ocean
With nowhere to swim ashore
[Verse 3]
The boat has sailed away
I know that it's too late
I'm floating through the waves
Drowning without you
[Verse 4]
When you find a better girl
You'll say that I'm the one
The one that got away
And I won't be there for you
[Chorus]
Don't mess with my emotions
I told you that before
Don't leave me in the ocean
With nowhere to swim ashore
