I Want To Be What You Need
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mhm when you're not strong and need someone to lean on
Let me be your strenght when you're weak
When you need somebody to comfort and love you let mine be the arms that you
seek
I want to be what you need whatever it is come to me
You'll always know where I'll be cause I want to be what you need
When life gets to be more than you can endure my hand is always in reach
And I'm always waiting and I'm always willing to give you whatever you need
I want to be what you need...
Yes I want to be what you need
