i was a fool to say the things i said i just lost my head made you cry, made you go i didn't mean to be so cold i had no right mistreating you that way
and oh, how could i know the price i'd pay
sorry i ever caused you pain sorry i, sorry i said those hurtful things but baby, all that really matters now is

i wanna get back with you just give me one more try i wanna get back with you just stop this hurt inside i gotta get back with you
i been walking down these cold and lonely streets i been losing sleep
had to prove i was strong but every night every night just proved me wrong had to think i had heaven right here in my hand
and oh, just let it slip away like sand
oh, gimme one chance to make it right one more chance, one more chance back in your light 'cause baby, all that really matters now is

i wanna get back with you hold me just like before i wanna get back with you taking me somewhere warm i gotta get back with you
baby, i'd give my soul
just to hold one more time just to look in your eyes 'cause right now i'm half alive
no matter what i do
there's no living without you can't you see baby
i wanna get back with you just give me one more try i wanna get back with you just stop this hurt inside i gotta get back with you hold me just like before taking me somewhere warm i wanna get back with you, babe i wanna get back with you, baby i wanna get back!
i gotta get back with you!
oh, take me back!



"The following single to If I Only Knew was I Wanna Get Back With You, a ballad which featured Tori Amos's vocals on the chorus, although it was generally described as a 'duet'. In the same month that The Lead And How To Swing It was released, Tori's current album Under The Pink was certified platinum, and a joint appearance of Tori and Tom could only have benefited him. However the pair were never seen together, either in Tom's promotional video for the duet, or performing live on stage. Without a visual union of this strength, the single completely failed to chart. Although Tom missed out on capitalising on Tori's success and standing he now became quite vocal about another female pop star with whom he would have liked to share a microphone. Apparently his admiration for Madonna was reciprocated."
