Can it be I stayed away too long?

Did I leave your mind when I was gone?

It's not my thing trying get back

But this time let me tell you where I'm at

You don't have to worry cause I'm comin'

Back to where I should have always stayed

And now I've heard the maybe to your story

And it's enough, love, for me stay

Can it be I stayed away too long?

Did I leave your mind when I was gone?

It's not my thing trying get back

But this time let me tell you where I'm at

Chorus:

I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh oh

Anywhere you are, oh oh

I wanna wanna be where you are, oh oh

Everywhere you are, oh oh

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

[Instrumental]

Chorus:

(Oooh!!)

I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh oh

Any, any, anywhere you are, oh oh

I wanna wanna be where you are, oh oh

I gotta be where you are, oh oh

Oooh

Yeah, yeah, baby now

Oooh
