<poem>
'''[Intro]''' 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na

'''[Verse 1]''' 
I don't want to ever see you go 
I only wish that you would give me a call 
Do you know I want to be with you  
All the time? 

'''[Verse 2]''' 
I don't care what your friends and parents say 
Don't think they ever liked me anyway 
Just want to say one thing  
I miss you 

'''[Chorus 1]''' 
Days gone, I want to see you smile 
And after all, I don't want to waste no time 
Girl you know you're always on my mind 
I just want you back 
Just want you back 

'''[Hook]''' 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na
Sha na na na na na
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na

'''[Verse 3]'''
I remember kissing in the sun
Drinking, dancing, having fun
Walking on the beach for days girl

'''[Verse 4]'''
See your face on every movie screen
Write your name on my old jeans
And I still say
That I miss you

'''[Chorus 2]'''
You're the one who truly speaks to me
And you know all I want to ever be
Girl you know you're always on my mind
I just want you back 
Just want you back 

'''[Hook]''' 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na
Sha na na na na na
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na

'''[Bridge]'''
Just want you back
Just want you back

'''[Outro]'''
Sha na na na na na
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na
Sha na na na na na
Na na, na na 
Sha na na na na na 
Na na, na na
