I Wanna Be Where You Are by Jose Feliciano (original lyrics)

Can it be i stayed away too long
And did i leave your mind when i was gone?
It’s not my thing trying to get back.
Darlin’ let me tell you where i’m at.

I wanna be where you are...oh oh
I wanna be where you are...oh oh oh oh
I wanna be where you are...oh oh, darlin’
I wanna be where you are...oh oh oh oh

You don’t have to worry ‘cause i’m coming
Back to where i always should have stayed.
Now i’ve learned the meaning to your story, mama,
And there’s enough love for me to stay.

I wanna be where you are... oh oh, yes darlin’
I wanna be where you are... oh oh oh oh
I wanna be where you are... oh oh, yes mama
I wanna be where you are... oh oh oh oh

Please don’t close the door to our future.
There’s so many things we haven’t tried.
I will love you better than i used to
And give you all the love, yes, i have inside, yeah.
Ooh ooh baby

(doo doo----doo doo)

I wanna be where you are...oh oh, yes darlin’
I wanna be where you are...oh oh oh oh, yeah, yay, yeah
I wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be, listen darlin’
I wanna be where you are
So i can hold you baby, hold you darlin’, don’t you know...

Yo quiero estar contigo, oyeme, para vacilar,
Para tenerte y decirte cuanto te quiero yeah
Yo quiero estar contigo, contigo y nada más para vacilar oyeme,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be,
I wanna be with you some night, some night,
Some night when i can hold you darlin’
Yay, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Oh yeah, darlin, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Let’s get down baby, get down,
'cause i wanna be where you are, where you are,
It doesn’t matter how near or how far.
I wanna be where you are, i wanna be where you are, darlin’...
