Cause when you love someone, you just don’t treat them bad, oh how I feel so sad, now that I wanna leave. She’s crying her heart to me, how could you let this be, I just need to time to see, where I wanna be, where I wanna beeeeeeeeeeeee
Till this day I rank his album "Journey of a Gemini" my favorite R&B of all time and top 5 album of any genre. Donell was so incredibly good in his day
JOAG is a classic album,his album you couldn’t find in stores called the Lost Files is crazy! It was only available online to download. Great album. And his Newest album 100% tough
@@Jcrash71 im 37 you goofball. Not a Gen X, goof. And it's personal preference and has meaning that I was listening to in a time in my life I hold dear. Who are you to say MY top 5 is wrong? Lol smh
I love donell jones! one of the most underrated r and b singers! i sung where i wanna be at a talent show at job corps in 2005 lol!i did a spin on stage and everything!much blessings and continued success to this brother! miss music like his not the same in music today!
The genius of that song was how it started like midway through a sentence lol. “…Cause when you love someone, you just don’t treat them bad.” You can literally say that after anything. You can be like, “yeah, my girl is tripping, cause when you love someone you just don’t treat them bad”. Genius!
Where I wanna be album had just came out and I was graduating from high school headed into the military on the battle buddy system. My high school sweet heart was headed to college and we didn’t want to break up. This album was in my walk-man thru basic and AIT…needless to say we got married my second duty station and had a son who’s in College now…Thanks Donell that bitch made my life hell for 18 yrs love my son tho…😏
I gotta play this for someone now. The whole album is in rotation regularly. But that song hit hard immediately all those years ago and is still relevant today.
This song is an amazing song. The lyrics. The tone, the melody. Most young men experience what he sant in this song. We all fuck it up after 2-3 years with a girl because we want to explore new and we have our girl too submitive to us. Beautiful song.
I been dealing with this exact type of situation for the last 3 years. No matter how much you tell a person you not happy with them, they just don’t understand. I can relate to each and every lyric of the song “where I wanna be” . . . .To anybody going through something similar, I hope you able to find peace and happiness also.
@@deliciaperry4684 looks don’t have nothing to do with it though. My child mother is very beautiful, that doesnt mean I’m posed to stay around if I’m not happy
@@mrmiller8105 then sir if you really are not happy then you have to leave for yourself. It’s better than making your child live in a loveless household
I loved that song with him & Lisa left eye lopes ❤️ it truly made the mark for that era . I went and bought and downloaded donell Jones after I heard that joint !!!
It's the same with the song "What Type of Man Would I Be," by Mint Condition. That's a song that has such emotions. Erykah Badu "Next Lifetime". Just all classics.👍👍

I was in my 5th grade year and my best friend had put me on to “where I wanna be” and we both were the best singers in our class so we used to have vocal battles to donnel jones. 💪🏽😂 good times man.
Thats right always write from the heart thats what i love about donell jones he always did that on every song. Every artist should definitely write from the heart.
@@domdinkins I mean in terms of diamond chains,with pendants,and other flashy things that make him stand out to draw attention to himself and others around him.
I was 10 when song came out, would lip sync the hell out of it but didn't appreciate the lyrics until I was older & in a relationship going through exactly what he sung about.
Funny they stayed together. Lol Man, what was that conversation when she, the family, friends heard that song? Ah man! 🤦🏽♀️🤭🤦🏽♀️ Them dimples tho! ☺️😊🥰

Donell wrote 702 “Get It Together “. That’s still my jam!
Oh wow, didn't know this... loved 702 back in high school they had the most sweet and soft beautiful voices and looks to match
Cause when you love someone, you just don’t treat them bad, oh how I feel so sad, now that I wanna leave. She’s crying her heart to me, how could you let this be, I just need to time to see, where I wanna be, where I wanna beeeeeeeeeeeee

Yall slept on Donatello in the 90s. Players in the hood instrumental still slaps
Top 10 Rnb song of all time
About time . Donell Jones is my Favorite R&B singer
I was in the 8th grade when this dropped and was playing the shit out of this CD
His skin is beautiful he’s glowing ❤️
Gotta interview Carl Thomas now
Such a well written song !
There is no denying it. Where I wanna be is a classic.
I didn’t even have a girlfriend a the time but loved that song 💯
I loved that song with him & Lisa left eye lopes ❤️ it truly made the mark for that era . I went and bought and downloaded donell Jones after I heard that joint !!!
Donell Jones is da man!!
The first song that caught my attention on that album was "This luv"
It's the same with the song "What Type of Man Would I Be," by Mint Condition. That's a song that has such emotions. Erykah Badu "Next Lifetime". Just all classics.👍👍
“You Know that I Love You” “This Love”, “Shawty Got Her Eyes on Me” & “Come Back” are my favorites from him.
Classic album my favorite rnb singer of all time dude is amazing I hope he becomes a regular
Where I wanna be is the realist song I ever heard of I felt that shit
I like where I wanna be and all her love. Those two songs hit me hard the most.

I got where I wanna be on my Playlist. That song stays on my mind.
One of my all time favourite songs. Loved the video too. DJ heavily underrated. That album was straight piff.
That's the realest song ever
The Chi REALLY is the R&B capitol of the world over the last 25+ year's !
That’s all that original Mississippi/Louisiana soul that migrated there
Facts
This Luv is my all time favorite song make me wanna cheat on my girl everytime I hear it 🤣😂
All this love has been on repeat since the pandemic. Goat music.
Heck, I felt that whole album was talking about me. I damn near started to wonder who was the snitch in my crew😁
Still keep him on the playlist Since i was like 18
Always
Was listening to him yesterday on the way to work
This songs stays in the rotation
