Need a song to meet this criteria

[mdc017]

1) Has to be about wanting someone back

2) Cannot be by any band like Guns n Roses or Led Zeppelin.

3) Can have ANY array of instruments. Piano, guitar, kazoo. The lyrics are more important here.

This is what I'm asking for. I really need it.

[Electronic Wolf]

Nsync - "I Want You Back"

[Jacaranda]

BBMak - Back Here

[sketchyjoe]

Possibly Bob Dylan - Mama, You've Been On My Mind though the message isn't that clear. Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance is more direct but less affecting.

[BringHomeTheBacon]

Incubus- Smile Lines
Edit: nevermind, some reason I thought the chorus said "I want you back" but it's "I want you bad".

[Happymeal]

Third Eye Blind - How's it Going to be

[PAJJ]

Jeff Buckley - Lover you should've come over

[YDload]

"Out On the Weekend" by Neil Young:

Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

She got pictures on the wall,
they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road
trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.

The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy,
he tries to speak and
Can't begin to say.

Third Eye Blind - How's it Going to be

Thats immediately what came to mind for me. If its for a girl, which is the impression i'm getting, that would be a good song.

Although the whole idea of using songs to get girls is lame, but if you must.

I know that song very well, but i never saw it as a "Take Me Back" song. Could you show me where it had that impression on you if you don't mind?

I think I found the perfect one, The Hush Sound - "Sweet Tangerine"

I'm not sure its REALLY a take me back song. Its more like "How its gonna be" when you guys aren't together any more. And in the song it says its gonna be bad. So its basically a take me back song.

I gotcha man. :thumb:
She really loves the hush sound anyhow.

[masada]

The Hush Sound have better songs than that, but if you must...

Go for that then. I listened to the song. Its a decent tune, but I don't know how it would sound on an acoustic guitar.

[mdc017]

Could you suggest some then please?

[Robert Crumb]

Aretha Franklin - Come Back Baby

A lot of folks have done this song. But Aretha's is definitely one of the better ones. I saw her on Emeril Live a while ago, making a pie or cake or something.

[Scuba_Steve]

Elliott Smith- Say Yes

You Am I - Heavy Heart*
Hoodoo Gurus - I Want You Back

*
Been watching so much TV
I'm thinner than I should be
I'm like a waterlogged ball
That no-one wants to kick around anymore
An all day morning hair-do
That no comb can get through
It's all granola and beer
A calling card and a silk cut souvenir
I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so good
Now I got a heavy heart

I talk a lot about football
And girls I kissed in Grade 4
I piss off my friends
And digging a hole just staring at the floor
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain
I'm loving cigarettes again
I know every tune about guys and girls
and hurts and hearts and moans

I miss you like sleep
And there's nothing romantic about the hours I keep
The morning when it starts
I don't look so sharp
Now I got a heavy heart

It's just a low rent paying, palpitating pulp under my shirt
But there's a weight that's sitting
Oh God it hurts
Oh God it hurts

If Words Were All I Had - Bobb trimble.
This song alone gives you a depression bigger than the albums: Pornography, disintegration by The Cure. I think that says it all!

[Tyrion]

The Beatles - Yesterday
The Beatles- I Want You(She's So Heavy) if she isn't fat. :p
Albert King - You're Gonna Need
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

[masada]

Could you suggest some then please?

"You Are the Moon"
