back where you belong

ooh i've been down there a million times

if i've been down before

never thought i'd hurt so bad

to see you play the fool

never mountain high enough

i said and i watched you climb

till the day i saw you walk out of your life and mine

so i'm gonna leave you just because i want you

back where you belong

gonna make you see just what you've doing to me

back where you belong

be home right by my side is where you want to be

back where you belong

standing in the shadows

watch your never-ending flight

just how high as high to be before you see the light

will this be the change you need to show you who you are

i love you but i'll leave you just to prove you've gone too far

soon i'm gonna leave you just because i want you

back where you belong

gonna make you see just what you've doing to me

back where you belong

be home right by my side is where you want to be

back where you belong

can't you see you're losing me using me

back where you belong

heaven knows i love you will this make you see

back where you belong

so i'm gonna leave you just because i want you

back where you belong

gonna make you see just what you've doing to me

back where you belong

be home right by my side is where you want to be

back where you belong

don't you understand my feelings and

set me free

don't you realize it.
