written by Babyface (1989)



We started out simple friends

That kind of friendship never ends, no baby

But we were fortunate to care enough

We knew just where we stood

But soon as love appeared

You turned away

And you were so unsure and so afraid

Of feeling what I was feeling

You were scared that love

Would blow your heart away

And you were certain that

In time my love would stray



Where, where will you go

And who, who's gonna love you like I do

Where, where will you go

And who's gonna love like I do



What kind of friends could we have been

If we had kept the feelings in

When we had made a vow to be the friends

We were since we began

But soon as love appeared

You turned away

And you were so unsure and so afraid

Of feeling what I was feeling

You were scared that love

Would blow your heart away

And you were certain that

In time my love

You were thinkin' that our love was gonna stray

Oh tell me



Where, where will you go

And who, who's gonna love you baby

The way that I do, now baby

Where, where will you go, where will you go

And tell me who is gonna love

I wanna know who is gonna love

I need to know who's gonna love

Who's gonna love, who, who, who, oh



Where, where will you go, baby

Who's gonna love you baby, tell me

Who's gonna care for you baby

Who's gonna be there for you baby

Who's gonna love you like you need to be loved

Oh where will you go, baby

And who's gonna love you like I do



Oh I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know

Like I do
