Arthur "T-Boy" Ross - Gotta Be There lyrics

[Refrain] I wanna be where you are Could it be I stayed away too long, oh? I wanna be where you are Could it be I stayed away too long, oh? [Verse 1] I remember I said we should split Had a lot going on and you weren't part of it You trying to reason with me I admit, but I did And now I'm walking around so, so sick And now I'm fiending, for you that's a fact Got me missing you like LA misses Shaq What I got to do On my mission to get you back Cause I'm just that whack without you Oh baby, baby I [Pre-Chorus] Really didn't mean it When I said it, I'll repeat it I was tripping flipping out It was some nonsense I was on a whole other level, now I got it all together I was sick, but now I'm better I was trying to push you away Really wanted you to stay Didn't know that was the case It was just plain crazy because around here lately Been thinking about nothing but my baby [Chorus] If you're in Houston Hosted in Atlanta (Baby, I gotta be there) Chilling in New York (Baby, I gotta be there) Somewhere out in Puerto Rico (Baby, I gotta be there) If you're in Chicago Hanging out in the MIA (Baby, I gotta be there) Maybe you can be in LA (Baby, I gotta be there) I just wanna be your lady (Baby, I gotta be there) [Refrain] I wanna be where you are Could it be I stayed away too long, oh? I wanna be where you are Could it be I stayed away too long, oh? [Verse 2] What's done is done, and I want to take it back I'm not living in the past, but now I want you back Got to get you, got to get you here I been looking for you everywhere Everywhere, baby I'll apologize 1000 times to you if I could prove, prove Baby I'm wrong and out of breath From bein' around the world trying to get to you [Pre-Chorus] Really didn't mean it When I said it, I'll repeat it I was tripping flipping out It was some nonsense I was on a whole other level, now I got it all together I was sick, but now I'm better I was trying to push you away Really wanted you to stay Didn't know that was the case It was just plain crazy because around here lately Been thinking about nothing but my baby [Chorus] If you're in Houston Hosted in Atlanta (Baby, I gotta be there) Chilling in New York (Baby, I gotta be there) Somewhere out in Puerto Rico (Baby, I gotta be there) If you're in Chicago Hanging out in the MIA (Baby, I gotta be there) Maybe you can be in LA (Baby, I gotta be there) I just wanna be your lady (Baby, I gotta be there) [Refrain] I wanna be where you are Could it be I stayed away too long, oh?
