Back Where You Belong Lyrics by Donna Summer

I’m a Rainbow

1981

[Intro]
Ooh, woah
Woah, woah
[Verse 1]
I've been down a million times
If I've been down before
Never thought I'd hurt so bad
To see you play the fool
Never a mountain high enough
I'd sit and I'd watch you climb
'Til the day I saw you walk out
Of your life and mine
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm gonna leave you
Just because I want you
Back where you belong
[Chorus]
Gonna make you see just what you've been doin' to me
Back where you belong
Back home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Standin' in the shadows
Watch your never-ending flight
Just how high is 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
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm gonna leave you
Just because I want you
Back where you belong
[Chorus]
Gonna make you see just what you've been doin' to me
Back where you belong
Back home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
Can't you see you're losin' me, usin' me?
Back where you belong
Heaven knows I love you, will this make you see?
Back where you belong
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm gonna leave you
Just because I want you
Back where you belong
[Chorus]
Gonna make you see just what you've been doin' to me (Gotta, gotta, gotta get)
Back where you belong
Back home right by my side is where you want to be (Gotta, gotta, gotta get)
Back where you belong
Don't you understand my feelings and set me free (Gotta, gotta, gotta get)
Don't you realize that I need you, baby? (Back where you belong)
