"Wherever You Are" lyrics - ISAAC HAYES

I thought that I wanted to be free
And the street life was the thing for me
But I was wrong

I shouldn't have let you get away
I've seen too many lonely days
Since you've been gone

I miss you, baby
My life is coming apart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are

A different carol every night
Music, wine and soft lights
Don't help at all

'Cause when I'm about to get it on
My mind drifts to the telephone
Hoping you call

I need you baby
Stop this pain in my heart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are

You never know how deep love grows till you lose it
And you never, never, never realize
It's true for you until it's gone

You, only you can restore my piece of mind
I would truly smile again
Until you come back home

Sometimes I can hear you call my name
I must be going insane, my mind playing truth for me
Your loving arms is a therapy
That I need to get back my sanity

Oh I need you, baby
You got to stop this pain in my heart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are

I love you
Wherever you are
I need you
Wherever you are
Come to me, baby
Stop this playing in my heart

I need you
Wherever you are
I miss you
Wherever you are
Come back baby, come on back
Stop this playing in my heart

Nothing can take a place of you
I love you
Wherever you are
