"Nationals, guys, I think I have the perfect song. Jackson 5. Everyone likes Jackson 5." Will Schuester said, passing out sheet music.
"Mr. Schue," Rachel's hand shot up.
"Yes, Rachel," Will says, knowing where this was going. "We're doing 60's music?"
"We'll have other songs, but we haven't done something like this yet. Ready, Finn?"
Finn stands up, gives Rachel a nervous smile and sits at the drum set.
"Uh-huh huh huh huh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back in your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh baby all I need is one more chance
(show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
(back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Uh-huh
A buh buh buh buh
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need
A buh buh buh buh
All I want
A buh buh buh buh
All I need
Oh just one more chance
to show you that I love you
baby! baby! baby! baby! baby! baby!
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
Let me live again
Oh baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
Gimme back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance ha
I tell ya that I love you"
Rachel gives Finn a semi-pleading look. It had already been a few months since they broke up. She was almost ready to get him back.
After Mr. Schuester dismissed them, she went over to Finn to have a word with him.
"Finn, I've said it so many times, I'm sorry about what happened. I hope you're ready to forgive me."
"Rachel, honestly, I already have, but I don't know what to about it."
"We can get back together, Finn,"
"I don't know if I'm ready. I mean…"
Rachel's lip quivered. "Okay." She stayed put as Finn walked away.
"I'm sorry,"
"Yeah, me too."
"I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
'Cause the last time you saw me
Still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side and
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine and
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to December all the time"
