The song you're thinking of is Can I by Cashmere. The song was released in 1983, and was taken from the album Cashmere. The band can pretty much be considered one-hit wonders: Their only famous song is Do It Anyway You Wanna.
Lyrics to Can I by Cashmere (transcribed, so apologies if they're not 100% accurate!)
Can I get you back?
Can I get you back?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
I was wondering if I could only have a try
To win you back again
I've been out there to see and there's no love for me
I am so lonely
Girl the things that I miss you, posessing your kiss
Won't you help me
I've got to know where I stand and if I am your man
Won't you tell me?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
I thought only a
I was too blind to see, you were all I need
I took for granted your mind, I never spent the time
to find out how you did
But you can see the feelings that I have in me
they've possessed and just feel so cold
And now I think I've got it under control
So can we take the time
To try to repair the feelings we share
But can we take the time
to hold this love, to raise it up
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
(Instrumental)
But you can see the feelings that I have in me
they've possessed and just feel so cold
And now I think I've got it under control
So can we take the time
To try to repair the feelings we share
But can we take the time
to hold this love, to raise it up
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
Can I, can I get you back?
Can I get you back again?
