through all the good times and the bad
i was there
i was there to let u know
to make it through
for the good of me and you
i was there to let u know that u have to stand up and fight
i was there to tell u when to start
oh yeah i could have left in a flash
but i chose to stay
and be there with you
Chorus:
when i was around
it was to let u know
the things i do
to make u see
where your love should be
and babie i was there, i was there
babie stand up and fight
you cant just take it like that
be a man, and do what u have to do
ill be there when u need me the most
ill never have that foolish pride
cuz babie ill be there,ill be there,
(repeat chorus 3x)
