I'll Be There

[Verse 1]

Baby, baby, love's a mystery

So hard to define

Darling, darling, more than I can see

'Cause love is so blind

[Pre-Chorus]

So many times he left you all night long, baby

Don't make no sense for you to carry on

Just give me a chance to know ya

I just want a chance to show ya

All my love I'll give to you

And girl, when we're through

I'll be there

[Chorus]

Call my name if you should want me

(I'll come running)

I'll come a-running to you, baby

(Just to make sure you're alright, don't you worry)

I'll be around, always around for you (Baby)

Long as you want me to

[Verse 2]

Darling, darling, you can look for me

And I can be found, baby, yes, I can

Sugar, sugar, you can lean on me — come on, baby

You know that I'm down, darling — yes, I'm here

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah, you've had too much to carry on your own, baby

But from now on you'll never walk alone

I'll shelter you in my arms, cover you with my charms

All my love I'll give to you

And girl, when we're through, I'll be there

[Chorus]

Call my name if you should want me

(Whenever you want me, yeah, I'll come running)

I'll come a-running to you, baby

(Just to make sure you're alright, don't you worry)

I'll be around, always around for you (Guess how long, baby?)

Long as you want me to (Oh, call my name)

Call my name if you should want me

(Whenever you want me, I'll come a-running, baby)

I'll come a-running to you, baby

(Just to make sure you're alright, don't you worry)

I'll be around, always around for you (Ah, guess, how long, baby?)

Long as you want me to (Ooh, darling)

[Bridge]

Just like a damsel in distress

Needing someone who would fight for her

Well, baby, I would

I know I could

I'll be your knight in shining armor

I will rescue you

Hey, baby

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, haha, call my name

[Chorus]

Call my name if you should want me

(Whenever you want me, I'll come running)

I'll come a-running to you, baby

(Just to make sure you're alright, don't you worry)

I'll be around, always around for you (Ah, guess how long, baby?)

Long as you want me to (Call my name)

Call my name if you should want me

(Whenever you want me, I'll come a-running, baby)

I'll come a-running to you, baby

(Just to make sure you're alright, please don't you worry, baby)

I'll be around, always around for you (Ah, guess how long, pretty mama)

Long as you want me to

[Outro]

I'll be there, whenever you want me

I'll come running

Ah, just to make sure you're alright

Please don't you worry, baby

(I'll be around, always around for you)

You don't have to worry, I'll be around

Ah, I'll be there any time, baby, always there
