A native of South Florida, he worked a variety of dead-end jobs ranging from car-wash attendant to fast-food server before scoring his debut hit with 1987's "Party Your Body," which grew from a regional success to national club smash; it was also the title track of his 1988 debut LP, which went gold. With 1989's In My Eyes, Stevie B. launched his first Top 40 hit, "I Wanna Be the One"; its follow-up, "Love Me for Life," soon cracked the Top 40 as well. With 1990's "Because I Love You," he reached the pinnacle of his success, with the single's accompanying album Love & Emotion also generating a pair of Top 20 hits, "I'll Be by Your Side" and the title cut. However, with the subsequent rise of alternative rock, Stevie B.'s light dance-pop sound lost much of its mainstream appeal, and he never again recaptured his previous success, with records including 1992's Healing and 1996's Waiting for Your Love appearing to little notice. The Best of Stevie B. followed in 1998.

A Place to Go
Stevie B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is dedicated to all the homeless people all across the world

Ohhhhhh ooohh oohhhh

I don´t know what happend to the dreams we shared together together together
something changed between us rearranged intentions
I want you right next to me
cause every time I see you wear a frown
I ask myself what could ever bring you down
there´s people in this world who should be sad
many people in this world don´t have
a place to lay their head, lay their head

we´ve got to be thankful girl for what we´ve got
and baby we´ve got a lot why can´t you see
what God has given to us nothing should come between us
what's good is it to gain the world and lose your soul

just trust in me and through these troubled times you´ll truly see
there´s something you should know
many people in this world don´t have
a place to go, place to go

just trust in me and through these troubled times you´ll truly see
there´s something you should know
many people in this world don´t have
a place to go, place to go





It truly saddens me what I see

I remember when we first started
You came to me and you were broken hearted
I took you in and wiped all your tears away
I gave you loving more than any other gave
Don't you know I'm the one and I love you girl
I don't care what they say you know you are my world
Come back home to the one
Who loves you more and more
Soon you'll see that it was me you were searchin' for

Spring love, come back to me
Spring love, come back to me
I need you and I want you baby
Spring love, come back to me
I gotta have you baby

I can remember the first time we ever met
The sun was shining
Love was gleaming in the air
You caught my eye and the next thing that I knew
I was in love, I was so in love with you
We were so close for a season of my life
I wanted so much to have you for my wife
But something changed
Season came to an end
I had to leave you
And that's where my heartache began

Spring love come back to me
Spring love, come back to me

Springtime love is on my mind and I won't forget
The way we shared the way we cared and I don't regret
Springtime love is on my mind and I won't forget
The way we shared the way we cared and I don't regret
My pretty lover

I can remember the first time we ever met
The sun was shining
Love was gleaming in the air
I took you in and wiped all your tears away
I gave you loving more than any other gave
Something changed
Season came to an end
I had to leave you
And that's where my heartache began

Spring love come back to me
Spring love come back to me
Spring love come back to me
Spring love come back to me

Springtime love is on my mind and I won't forget
The way we shared the way we cared and I don't regret
Springtime love is on my mind and I won't forget
The way we shared the way we cared and I don't regret
