Yeah...
Ooh, the miles that lie between us
Are heavy on my mind
I need to be beside you
Holding your body next to mine
I know that you get lonely
Well, it's just the same for me, yeah
We ought to be together
So we can share the love we need, baby
Well, I wanna be there
Yeah, I wanna be there, listen
I wanna be there
Believe me, baby
Oh, I got to be there to hold you
Got to be there to touch you
Wanna be there to make love to you, baby
Ooh, I don't think that I can take it
Well, it's more than I can stand
I'm trying hard to make it
But I'm only just a man
I know the things that you're feeling
Well, I feel the same way, too, yeah
I'm praying for the moment
When I'll be there loving you, baby
Well, I wanna be there
Yeah, I wanna be there, baby
I wanna be there
Believe me, baby
Oh, I got to be there to hold you
Got to be there to touch you
Wanna be there to make love to you, baby
Yeah, I wanna be there
Ooh, I wanna be there, listen
I wanna be there
Believe me, baby
I wanna be there
Don't think I can take it no more, no
Oh, baby, whoo...
Don't think I can take it no more, oh, no
(I wanna be there)
Wanna be there
Want to be there
(I wanna be there...)
