Where I Wanna Be
Donell Jones Lyrics
I said I left my baby girl a message
Saying I won't be coming home
I'd rather be alone
She doesn't fully understand me
That I'd rather leave than to cheat
If she give me some time
I can be the man she needs
But there's a lot of lust inside of me
And we've been together since our teenage years
I really don't mean to hurt her but I need some time
But when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh how I feel so sad
Now that I want to leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I want to be
Where I want to be
Sweet little do-dee-do-dee
I don't mean to hurt you baby, oh no
Never did I imagine
That you would play a major part
In a decision that's so hard
Do I leave, do I stay, do I go
I think about my life and what matters to me the most
Girl the love that we share is real
But in time your heart will heal
I'm not saying I'm gone
But I have to find what life is like
Without you
But when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh how I feel so sad
Now that I want to leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I want to be
Where I want to be
Sweet little do-dee-do-dee
I don't mean to hurt you baby
See when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh how I feel so sad
Now that I want to leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I want to be
See when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh how I feel so sad
Now that I want to leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I want to be
See when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh how I feel so sad
Now that I want to leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I want to be
Where I want to be
I'm sorry baby

This is the story of a man that is seeking to self discover. Donell Jones paints the picture so vividly through his lyrics. He and his girl have been together since they were teenagers and even though he knows he loves her, he still feels like it may be necessary for him to explore the world and get over his curiosity about what else is out there. He's torn about whether to stay or leave because he loves his girl and doesn't want to hurt her, but he doesn't want to get to the point where he regrets not getting to experience life as a single man. So he makes the decision to take a break and steps out there and sleeps with the girl from the club only to come to the realization that it wasn't worth it after seeing his longtime girl on a date with someone else. That's when he calls her outside and pleads for her love back and apologizes. The truth of the matter is this is the reality for a lot of men. Some choose to stay and be faithful, some choose to take a break, and some choose to cheat. Moral of the story is if you know someone is valuable to you, don't take them for granted and risk losing them. The strength of your love for them will determine the outcome.

This song!!! My son died three years ago. His birthday is coming up in March. He would have been 31. He use to sing this song. My baby couldn’t sing to save his life. But he would sing it anyway. It made me so happy. What I wouldn’t give to hear him sing it now. I miss you son. Mama loves you so much.
