When the tears are rolling down

Like a river to the ocean

And there's no one else around

You won't question my devotion

Everybody needs somebody, yeah yeah

And you got me

You know that I know that you know that

I'll be there for the highs and lows

Give you mine if your heart gets broke

By your side when you're all alone

I will be there

When you're down and down on your luck

Things got tough and you've had enough

When you fall down, I'ma pick you up

I will be there, eh eh

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

When you're down and down on your luck

Things got tough and you've had enough, woah woah

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

When your heart could use a break

And it's too broken to be open

I'll be patient, I will wait

Until you're ready to be open

Everybody needs somebody, yeah

yeah And you got me

You know that I know that you know that

I'll be there for the highs and lows

Give you mine if your heart gets broke

By your side when you're all alone

I will be there

When you're down and down on your luck

Things got tough and you've had enough

When you fall down, I'ma pick you up

I will be there, eh eh

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

When you're down and down on your luck

Things got tough and you've had enough, woah woah

I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for the highs and lows

Give you mine if your heart gets broke

By your side when you're all alone

I will be there

When you're down and down on your luck

Things got tough and you've had enough

When you fall down, I'ma pick you up

I will be

I will be there

Eh, eh, I will be there for you

Eh, eh I will be there for you all of the time, yeah yeah

Down and down on your luck

You've had enough

I will be there for you
