(I gotta be there)

(Could it be I stayed away too long?)

(I gotta be there)

I remember
I said we should split
Had a lot goin' on
And you weren't part of it
You tryin' to reason with me I admit
But I did
And now I'm walkin' around so so sick
And now I'm thinkin' for you that's a fact
Got me missin' you
Like LA misses Shaq
What I gotta do
On my mission to get you back
Because I'm just that way without you
Baby baby I

Really didn't mean it
When I said it, I'll repeat it
I was trippin' flippin' out
It was nothin'
I was on a whole other level
Now I got it all together
I was sick, but now I'm better
I was trying to push you away
Really wanted you to stay
Didn't know that was the case
It was just plain crazy 'cause around here lately
Been thinkin' about nothing but my baby

If you're in Houston
(Baby I gotta be there)
Hosted in Atlanta
(Baby I gotta be there)
Chillin' in New York
(Baby I gotta be there)
Somewhere out in Puerto Rico
(Baby I gotta be there)
If you're in Chicago
(Baby I gotta be there)
Hangin' out in the MIA
(Baby I gotta be there)
Maybe you can be in LA
(Baby I gotta be there)
I just wanna be your lady
(Baby I gotta be there)

I gotta be there

(Could it be I stayed away too long?)

I gotta be there

What's gone is gone
And I wanna take it back
I'm not livin' in the past
But now I want you back
Gotta get you, gotta get you here
I been looking for you everywhere
Everywhere, baby
I'd apologize 1000 times to you if I could prove (prove)
Baby I'm wrong and out of breath
I been around the world tryin' to get to you

Really didn't mean it
When I said it, I'll repeat it
I was trippin' flippin' out
It was nothin'
I was on a whole other level
Now I got it all together
I was sick, but now I'm better
I was trying to push you away
Really wanted you to stay
Didn't know that was the case
It was just plain crazy 'cause around here lately
