Can’t Stay Too Long (You Know Where I Wanna Be) Motown Rhythm & Blues • Southern Player Soul [Intro] Yeah, baby… I came by to see you… But I can’t stay too long… You know where I wanna be… [Verse 1] You ain’t right for me, Now I finally see, Why you’re sittin’ here lonely, And it ain’t got nothin’ to do with me. Every little thing becomes a fight, Nothin’ ever seems to feel right, I been tryin’ to understand, But baby, I got grown man plans. [Pre-Chorus] Too much control over here, Too much stress and too much fear, Your energy don’t match my vibe, And that’s why I’m sayin’ goodbye. [Chorus] I can’t stay too long, You know where I wanna be, Somewhere peace can find me, Where love comes naturally. I can’t stay too long, Girl, we movin’ differently, If you ain’t interested in my dreams, Then you ain’t interested in me. [Verse 2] Too many problems, And we not together, I keep lookin’ for sunshine, But keep gettin’ stormy weather. I want better, And you not her, The woman I imagine by my side, Who builds me up with pride. Let’s get to it and see, What you really wanna be, Cause talk is cheap, And actions tell the story. [Pre-Chorus] Every day feels the same, Tired of playin’ this game, I need somebody who understands, A grown soul with grown-up plans. [Chorus] I can’t stay too long, You know where I wanna be, Where respect and love grow strong, And the future’s easy to see. I can’t stay too long, Girl, that’s the truth from me, You keep holdin’ on to problems, While I’m searchin’ for peace and harmony. [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll understand, Why I had to walk away, A man can’t build a kingdom, Where negativity wants to stay. [Outro] So I’m headed down my road, Travelin’ light and free, I can’t stay too long… You know where I wanna be… Where I wanna be… Where love feels easy… Where I wanna be… Where somebody believes in me… 🎶🎷🎹
