I Want You Here With Me - The O'Jays

I want you here with me

Come on inside my world

Let me share my love with you

Be with me everyday

I want you here with me

'Cause you're so far away

I need you closer so I can love you

Love you in every way

Why don't you come on

Come on, come on, come on to me

This is where you belong

So I can protect and love you

Love you the way I know you should be loved

And if by chance

I'm movin' a little too fast

And you've got some other plans

That don't include me

But if you feel the same way

The same way I do

Then you ought to pack your clothes

I'm comin' to get you

I want you here with me, baby

(You and me)

I want you in my arms

Here we are talkin' on the phone for hours

And we could be together

I want you here with me

I need you by my side, oh

When I'm away from you, I'm so lonely

I'm so lonely, I'm only half alive

And if by chance

I'm movin' a little too fast

And you've got some other plans

That don't include me

But if you feel the same way

The same way I do

Then you ought to pack your clothes

I'm comin' to get you

I want you here with me

Oh, I want you in my arms, oh

Here we are again

Talkin' on the phone for hours

When you know one thing

One thing, girl, we'll be together

Why don't you come on

Come on, come on

This is where you belong

I just wanna protect you and love you

Just the way, just the way

I know you ought to be loved

One thing for sure

I'm over here

(Yeah, yeah)

You're over there

(Well, well)

This love affair ain't goin' nowhere

(We need to be together, baby)

I need you by my side

When we're apart

(We're only half alive, alive and I wanna live, I wanna live)

If you feel the way I do

Pack your clothes

(I'm comin' to get you, baby, just as fast as I can, I'm over here)

Come on, come on, come to me

(Ah, ooh, ooh, I just wanna hear come on)

Come on, come on, come to me

(Ah, come on, girl, come on)

Come to me

(Come on, babe)

Come to me, come to me

(I need you, I really, I really do)

Come to me

(Come on)

Come to me

(Come on)

Come to me

(This is where we belong, this is where you belong)

Come to me, come to me

Come to me

Come to me, come to me

Come to me
