Lyrics

I wanna be where you are, baby (Where you are)
I've got to be where you are, oh (Where you are)
(I wanna be) I want to be where you are, baby
(I've got to be) Ooh, I got to be where you are
Ooh, good night, y'all
Good night, little Frankie, Nona
Night, little Marvin
I love you all
I'll always love you, Janis
I want to be where you are
Ah, I've got to be where you are, baby
Oh, my children, I'll always be where you are
Oh, oh
I love you, baby
I really want you
Janis, ah Janis
Janis, ah Janis, I love you
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are, baby)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be)
(Where you are)
(I wanna be)
(Where you are)
(I wanna be)
(Where you are, baby baby)
(I wanna be)
(Where you are)
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are, you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(Anywhere you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
(I wanna be where you are)
