Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ah, I wanna be where you are, baby

I've gotta be where you are, oh

I want to be where you are

Ooh, I’ve gotta be where you are

[Verse 2]

Ooh, ooh

Goodnight, y'all

Goodnight little Frankie, Nona

'Night, little Marvin

I love you all

I'll always love you, Janis

[Verse 3]

I want to be where you are

I, I've got to be where you are, baby

Oh, my children, I'll always be where you are

Oh
