Carpenters, The - (Want You) Back In My Life Again Lyrics






You know it doesn't seem that long ago
That I had your love and let it go
And I really let you down I know
I'm losin' your love

I guess it took a while for me to see
What it is you really mean to me
I've been as big a fool as I can be
For losing your love

[Chorus:]
I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I need you here with me

There was a time I thought I had it made
But I didn't see the price I had paid
And the price gets higher ev'ry day
And all I can say is

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love

[Repeat Chorus]

You're the only one who knows my heart
So let's take it right back to the start
And I won't have to play the part
Of losing your love

I want you back in my life again
I don't want to be your remember when
I want you back in my life again
Let's go back to the place where it all began
I've lived long enough with your memory
Now I know that I want you, know that I need you
Back in my life

  1. T.... F....

    Cant wait to hit that. I'm made of air.

  2. R.... M....

    What album was it taken from? Voice Of The Heart, Ticket To Ride or Made In America?

    R.... M....

    Roosevelt McCarter made in America hence the photo showing made in America.

    R.... M....

    @Nurse ML Great album by the Carpenters.

  3. R.... M....

    What album was it taken from?

  4. R.... A....

    Concordo tarso voz cristalina ninguém tem so ela é grandes sucessos como está!! Dançante

  5. F.... R....

    This song hit #72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

  6. K.... L....

    Synths programming by Daryl Dragon, aka the Captain.

  7. C.... K....

    40 years ago , they created the standards of the music of the 21st Century....

  8. A.... G....

    I need an extended and the instrumental pls

  9. J.... G....

    I remember thinking being a young boy that this song got the Carpenters entering the 80s. A great song being à top hit in Germany. Does anybody know why it has never been released on any tribute album ? Did Richard finally not like it? Was there any « Copi right- struggle » around it, because Richard did not wright thé song?

  10. R.... A....

    Umas das melhores cantoras do mundo!!!!

  11. C.... H....

    Q música lindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Carpenters the best 4ever!

  12. A.... S....

    PERFECTION!

  13. k.... b....

    Tudo que eu quero eu consigo .

  14. M.... 7....

    "let's get physical, physical"

  15. s.... ....

    Probably more contemporary today than when it was released, as it has a distinctly synthwavy sound. Interesting arrangements, chord progressions and vocalizations.

  16. H.... E....

    I feel like this should have been in Guardians of The Galaxy

  17. S.... G....

    This I'd one of my faverate songs of the carpenters called want you back in my life again. To bad of a wasted talent of such a great singer Karen. As will be greatly missed. R.I.P Karen.

    The Carpenters get groovy!  Much as I love them, I think they should have had a few more rock/ dance songs like this..also love 'Touch Me When We're Dancing' & Karen's 'My Body Keeps Changing my Mind'..

  20. S.... M....

    Foi um grande sucesso da epoca

  21. C.... H....

    Delicious Song! Que música deliciosa de ouvir!

  22. J.... F....

    HOY 2018 SE CONSIDERA LA MEJOR VOZ FEMENINA

  23. M.... S....

    Why did she kill herself? Love the sounds of the synthesisers here.. very west coast sound.

    M.... S....

    she didn't kill herself, she suffered from anorexia and passed away due to heart complications resulting from her disease and the medication she abused during those years.

    M.... S....

    I don't think she knew how dangerous the dieting was. She told friends that there was a lot more living to do. She was working with Richard on a new collaboration. It was the ipecac, thyroid med that killed her

  24. R.... L....

    This wasn't worthy of them. Sounds like a Doobie Brother's rip-off, and Karen's voice is way too high. No wonder it was one of the Carpenters' biggest flops.

  25. S.... ....

    My parents played good singers like these when I was growing up and now it's good memories hearing it again.

  26. T.... ....

    This got a 61 on the Yachtski scale. Nice Doobie bounce..and who doesn't love Karen's voice..

  27. V.... V....

    Perfect song which makes feel good:)

  28. a.... ....

    Richard Carpenter hates this song with a passion.

    a.... ....

    That's a shame

    a.... ....

    auerstadt06 I wonder why , I think he wanted to keep that classic 70s sound , this is from 1981 and probably the only song they made which sounded a little 80s which is why Richard dislikes it

    a.... ....

    @Darren T I read that this album was one of His and Karen's favorites of the albums they did.

    a.... ....

    auerstadt06 Actually, that song was “Beechwood 45789”, not this one.

  29. �.... o....

    Thanks for upload!!!
    この曲、幼少期に聴いてハマったわ!!

  30. F.... N....

    Another perfect song, simply fantastic. There will never be another Karen Carpenter.

  31. i.... w....

    My all time favourite Carpenters album.💜

  32. M.... C....

    Good times...

  33. �.... �....

    Carpenters' music is still awesome even for new generations. It will never be forgotten; from Brazil.

  34. D.... O....

    serious i will wait(forever)want you back in my life....

  35. T.... M....

    NINGUEM FAZ MUSICA DE QUALIDADE IGUAL A ESSA DUPLA ! DESDE 1981 VOCE NAO ENCONTRA UMA MUSICA TAO BEM FEITA EM TUDO COMO ESSA E AS OUTRAS MUITA DELES ! KAREN E RICHARD PERFEITOS ETERNAMENTE !

  36. R.... M....

    simplesmente maravilhosa musica!!!

  37. C.... C....

    great tune................

  38. l.... m....

    my favorite song (Want You) Back In My Life Again

  39. w.... F....

    11/08/2017 saudades da Karen e seu irmão...

  40. T.... L....

    This song was popular on both the pop and country charts. Great song. Loved the rhythm. When a song does well on the charts of various genre that's something to REALLY sit up and take note of.

  41. s.... ....

    思い出がこみ上げる曲!(^^♪
    でもこの曲が納められた「メイドインアメリカ」を最後にキラ星のごとく数多くの名曲を残してカレンが旅立ってしまった…
    彼女の代わりになれるボーカリストはいない
    カーペンターズは永遠です

  42. R.... R....

    A beautiful song recorded in a beloved year to me.

  43. I.... C....

    ...great song and post.The binge eating disorder prior to the video is unfortunate, but I understand.

    I.... C....

    so what she was still beautiful inside and out. Why do people have to make comments on people on how they looked like. Just look at what wonderful music she left behind for you and me and everyone to enjoy for ages to come. I am Greatfull for that everyday I can still listen to her beautiful voice. Thanks Karen leaving something so beautiful behind.

  44. j.... m....

    Does anyone know what this song is about, I wonder if Karen tried to get back with her husband, she is an angel in heaven singing ever so beautifully, Love you always Karen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    j.... m....

    He drained her cash, the less liquid assets were all that was left

  45. p.... ....

    I was seventeen at the time and had spent my childhood listening to the Carpenters playing on the school bus driver's radio. This was going to be their big comeback album and then she died on us. It was like John Lennon's "Double-Fantasy" release a few years previously with him being cut down just as he was cranking up.

  46. K.... ....

    Is it my pc or the upload have a very small gap at approx. 2:30 ?

    K.... ....

    +KingOfRock61 ... the upload

    K.... ....

  47. r.... ....

    Carpenters: Music that makes my heart fly... They sound perfectly wonderful here. Applause from Brazil!

    r.... ....

    Especially with that Pauhlino DeCosta percussion!

  48. S.... A....

    I love this chord progression, especially diminish.

  49. R.... L....

    Thanks.

    Renato thanks for lyrics from Russia .

  50. K.... M....

    Karen, we all miss you dearly and want YOU back in our lives again!  :(

    K.... M....

    Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. s.... ....

    I like the synths

    s.... ....

    synths compliments of Daryl Dragon - a.k.a. The Captain (of the Captain and Tennille)

    s.... ....

    Daryl (The Captain) Dragon programmed those. : )

    s.... ....

    sweet.....

    s.... ....

    It's got a real smooth west coast sound

  52. A.... G....

    Beautiful strings, but waaayyyy over scintilated voice processing which is a pity considering Karen's amazing voice. Suprised that she and Richard accepted such heavy processing on her voice.

    A.... G....

    How can you tell?

  53. r.... z....

    i love this song

    r.... z....

    Like John Lennon's "Double-Fantasy", The Carpenters' "Made in America" was a comeback album that turned out to be their last hurrah.
