[Verse 1]
Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It is not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I am at
You don't have to worry because I am coming
Back to where I should have always stayed
And now I've learned the meaning to your story
And it is enough love for me to stay

Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It is not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I am at

[Chorus]
I want to, want to be where you are
Anywhere you are
I want to, want to be where you are
Everywhere you are

[Verse 2]
Please don't close the door to our future
There are so many things we haven't tried
I could love you better than I used to
And give you all the love I have inside

[Chorus]
I want to, want to be where you are
Any, any, anywhere you are
I want to, want to be where you are
I got to be where you are

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
