Throwback Of The Day....Donell Jones "Where I Wanna Be"





When R&B singer (And Chi-town native) Donell Jones stepped on the scene with the "Where I wanna Be Album" True R&B fans found that they finally got it right with this one. "Where I wanna Be" is the title track from Donell Jones' second album. Written and produced by Jones and Kyle West, the song charted at #29 on the Hot 100 chart and #2 on the R&B chart...and can still grab my heart with this serious pen- Age....

I should of I left my baby girl a message
Sayin' I won't be coming home
I'd rather be alone
She doesn't fully understand me
'Cause I'd rather leave than to cheat
If she gives me some time
I can be the man she needs
But there's a lot of lust inside of me
And we've been together since our teenage years
I really don't mean to hurt her, but I need some time
To be alone

(Chorus 1)
But when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh, how I feel so sad
Now that I wanna leave
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I wanna be
Where I wanna be...

Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee...
I don't mean to hurt you, baby, oh, no, no...

(Verse 2)
Never did I imagine
That you would play a major part
In a decision that's so hard
Do I leave, do I stay, do I go?
I think about my life and what matters to me the most
Girl, the love that we share is real
But in time your heart will heal
I'm not saying I'm gone
But I have to find what life is like
Without you

(Chorus 1)

Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee...
I don't mean to hurt you, baby oh no

(Chorus 2) x 3
See when you love someone
You just don't treat them bad
Oh, how I feel so sad
now that I wanna leave and
She's crying her heart to me
How could you let this be?
I just need time to see
Where I wanna be

Where I wanna be...
