Around The World
Lisa Stanfield & Barry White Lyrics

I don't know where my baby is
The singer is uncertain about the location of her partner

but I'll find him, somewhere, somehow
The singer is determined to locate her partner no matter what it takes

I've got to let him know how much I care
The singer wants to express her love and affection for her partner

I'll never give up looking for my baby
The singer will persist in her search for her missing partner

Been around the world and I, I, I
The singer has traveled extensively in search of her partner

I can't find my baby
The singer has not yet located her missing partner

I don't know when, I don't know why
The singer is unsure why her partner has disappeared or when he will return

Why he's gone away
The singer is unable to explain why her partner has left

And I don't know where he can be, my baby
The singer has no idea as to the location of her partner

But I'm gonna find him
The singer is committed to locating her partner

We had a quarrel and I let myself go
The singer and her partner had an argument and she said things she now regrets

I said so many things, things he didn't know
The singer revealed information to her partner that she had not divulged before

And I was oh oh so bad
The singer behaved poorly during the argument

And I don't think he's comin' back, mm mm
The singer believes her partner may not return

He gave the reason, the reasons he should go
The singer's partner explained his reasons for leaving

And he said so many things he never said before
The singer's partner revealed previously undisclosed thoughts and feelings during their conversation

And he was oh oh so mad
The singer's partner was very angry during their argument

And I don't think he's comin', comin' back
The singer is doubtful that her partner will return

I did too much lyin', wasted too much time,
The singer admits to having been dishonest and wasting time on things that were not important

Now I'm here a'cryin', I, I, I
The singer is emotional and upset over the loss of her partner

So open hearted, he never did me wrong
The singer's partner was kind and trustworthy

I was the one, the weakest one of all
The singer believes that she was responsible for the downfall of their relationship

And now I'm oh oh so sad
The singer is deeply unhappy and sorrowful

And I don't think he's comin' back, comin' back
The singer has lost hope that her partner will return

I've been around the world, lookin' from my baby
The singer has searched extensively in different locations for her partner

And I'm gonna find him
The singer is determined to locate her missing partner
