Mama's Pearl

The Jackson 5

Could 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
Could it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
When it's not my thing trying get back
But this time let me tell you where I'm at

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

I wanna wanna be where you are, oh oh
Any any any where you are, oh oh
I wanna wanna be where you are, oh oh
I gotta gotta be where you are, oh oh

I wanna be, I wanna be oh
Yeah yeah, baby now
I wanna be, I wanna be oh, ooh
I wanna be, I wanna be oh
Now now yeah yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be oh
I wanna be, I wanna be oh
Now now baby
I wanna be, I wanna be oh
I wanna be, I wanna be oh
