Oh
Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

You don’t have to worry ’cause I’m coming
Back to where I should have always stayed

And now I’ve heard the meaning to your story
And it’s enough love for me to stay

Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
Well, it’s not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I’m at

I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
Anywhere you are (ooh aah)
I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
Everywhere you are (ooh aah)

Please don’t close the door to our future
There’s so many things we haven’t tried
I could love you better than I used to
And give you all the love I have inside

Oh

I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
Any, any, anywhere you are (ooh aah)
I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
I gotta, gotta be where you are (ooh aah)

I wanna be, I wanna be, I
Yeah, yeah, baby now
I wanna be, I wanna be, I
I wanna be, I wanna be, I
Na, na, yeah, yeah

I wanna be, I wanna be, oh I
I wanna be, I wanna be, I

Na, na, baby
I wanna be, I wanna be, I
