Baby I know you cry ‘cause honey I’m not that blind
Can’t run away from your pain
There’s nothin’ you can hide behind
So you’ve got problems and baby this I can see
If you want to run away
Just come runnin’ home to me

(BUILD)
Leave behind all those wasted years
Leave behind all those wasted tears

(CHORUS)
So if you need a shoulder to cry on at night
Or just need someone near to hold you tight
Just turn around and you’ll find someone who cares
‘Cause honey I’ll be there, oh baby I’ll be there

You got to help yourself before I can help you
No matter how hard it is
I’ll be there to pull you through
You’ve got to search your heart to find out who you are
I know it won’t be that hard
You won’t have to search very far

(BUILD)
Leave behind all those wasted years
Leave behind all those wasted tears

(CHORUS)
So if you need a shoulder to cry on at night
Or just need someone near to hold you tight
Just turn around and you’ll find someone who cares
‘Cause honey I’ll be there, oh baby I’ll be there

(BRIDGE)
Just look around you’ll find that I’m always near
When you need someone baby I’ll be there

(OUT-CHORUS)
And if you need a shoulder to cry on at night
Or just need someone near to hold you tight
Just turn around and you’ll find someone who cares
‘Cause honey I’ll be there, oh baby I’ll be there, you know that I’ll be there
