[Verse 1]
When things go wrong for me and
I  start feelin' down and blue
I  need somebody I can
Come and tell my troubles to
Someone who'll take my hand
And  say "Baby, I understand"

[Chorus]
(I  know that you'll be there) To hold me
(I know that you'll be there) To kiss me
(I  know that you'll be there)
To smile and say "Everything's okay"

[Verse 2]
A guy needs that certain someone
With a love he can rely on
Through  the good times and the bad times
She'll be standin' there beside him
A girl who's never learned to refuse
I'm so lucky I got you

[Chorus]
(I know that you'll be there) To hold me
(I know that you'll be there) To kiss me
(I know that you'll be there)
To smile and say "Everything's okay"

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Someone who'll take my hand
And say "Baby, I understand"

[Outro]
(I know that you'll be there) To hold me
(I know that you'll be there) To kiss me
(I know that you'll be there) To love me
(I know that you'll be there) And want me
(I know that you'll be there) To need me
(I know that you'll be there)
