"Don't Wanna Lose You Now" by the Backstreet Boys

("Show Me the Meaning...," Seventeen, February 2001)

My place was
always beside you
And I wish that I didn't
need you so bad
You face just won't
go away

Seventeen: Have you ever broken up with a girl (or had her break up with you) and wanted to get back together?
Jeff: "I had a long-term relationship that we decided, mutually, to end. But I started looking at it through rose-colored glasses. I eventually realized, though, that I was looking for something that couldn't be again or maybe never was exactly what I thought it was."
Mike: "I have. And what the song says is true--when you're no longer dating someone, not being able to spend time with her is painful and hard to put out of your head."
Art: "I've never once wanted an old relationship back. It doesn't matter who indicated the split. I rationalize that if this person wasn't perfect for me, then I should let her go and wait for the person who is."
