Where Would I Be
B. Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on come on
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
Where I'll be
Got a lot of feelings locked inside of me
Wish you understood the pain you caused me
Oh
You're the only girl that I ever really wanted
( You're the only girl that I ever really wanted )
It's killing me because you're not even responding
To me
You've played these games before
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
History, memories, in your arms
Where I'll be
Baby it's about that time for me to up and leave
Oh yeah
I told you before but you wouldn't pay attention to me
No no
If you just would've listened then maybe we could have worked things out
Oh yeah
But girl you didn't
Now I'm moving out
You played these games before
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
History, memories, in your arms
Where I'll be
Where I'll be
Where I'll be
Three months have passed and I heard you want me back
Ohh yeah
I guess I was right when I said that you'd be back
I heard your message on the answer machine last night
Baby, come on
Baby give up cause me and you just ain't right
You played those games before
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
History, memories, in your arms
Where I'll be
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
History, memories, in your arms
Where I'll be
Never gonna touch your body
The way I used to
Never gonna see you smile
The way that I always do
And when I'm gonna know
That you'll never forget about me
History, memories, in your arms
Where I'll be
"B. Green's song Where Would I Be" is about the pain of a failed relationship and the longing for someone who doesn't seem to notice or care anymore. The singer is expressing how they will never be able to touch the other person's body or see their smile in the way they used to. They wonder when they will know that the other person won't forget about them, and imagine being comforted by memories of the past in the other person's arms. However, despite these feelings, the singer realizes that it's time to move on and leave the relationship behind. They wish the other person had listened when they said things weren't working out, but now it's too late. Three months later, the other person wants them back, but the singer knows it's not right and can't give in to the same games that caused them pain before.
Overall, the song highlights the intense emotions that come with a breakup, including hurt, longing, and frustration. The lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and acceptance that the relationship is truly over, but also acknowledge that it's difficult to let go of the memories and feelings associated with the past.
