You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there  (I'll be there)

I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name, and I'll be there  (I'll be there)

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong, I'll be your strength
I'll keep holding on...yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl is all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there  (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you (yeah baby)
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name, and I'll be there  (I'll be there)

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong, I'll be your strength
I'll keep holding on, ooh-ooh, yes I will, yes I will

If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there, don't you know baby, yeah yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, and I'll be there

Just look over your shoulders honey, ooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
Don't you know baby yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I'll be there.
