I’ll Be There Lyrics

[Intro]
Said, “I’ll be there”
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing
Said, “I’ll be there”
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing (Move, move)

[Verse 1]
Don’t go on about it
Stuck on stand by
Ain’t a riddle for me
Where your head’s at
How we thought about it
Nothing, does it have to be?
You can have all my love for free (I can)
And I will keep the fire in me
Even if it takes all goddamn night

[Chorus]
(I) Said, “I’ll be there”
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing
Said, “I’ll be there”
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing

[Verse 2]
Don’t you dare go down
Tape the polaroid to your dome
Keep the sad shit off the phone
And get your fine ass on the road
Girl, it’s time that I do testify
Whoa-whoa
No more alone

[Chorus]
I hear you coming, “I’ll be there”
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing (Move, move)
Said, “I’ll be there when you’re gone”
I’ll be there when you come home
And I’ll be there (Move)
Tell me more, or tell me nothing
I’ll be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I’ll be there when you’re gone
And I’ll be there when you come home
And I’ll be there
Tell me more, or tell me nothing
And I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I’ll be there, there, there
I won’t move, move
Tell me more, or tell me nothing (Move, move)
Said, “I’ll be there”
