You think I'd leave your side, baby?Do you believe that I'd abandon you, my love?
You know me better than thatYou understand me well enough to know that I would never leave you.
Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees?Do you think I'd desert you when you're at your lowest point and need me the most?
I wouldn't do thatI would never do something like that to you.
I'll tell you you're right when you aren't, ah, ah, ohI will support you and affirm you, even when you may be wrong or uncertain.
And if only you could see into meIf only you could truly understand my intentions and feelings.
Oh, when you're coldWhen you're feeling alone and isolated,
I'll be there, hold you tight to meI will wrap my arms around you and embrace you, giving you comfort and warmth.
When you're on the outside, baby, and you can't get inWhen you feel like an outsider or an outcast, excluded from the world around you,
I will show you you're so much better than you knowI will remind you of your worth and value, even when you feel unworthy or insignificant.
When you're lost and you're aloneWhen you feel lost and without direction,
And you can't get back againAnd you feel like you've lost your way and can't recover,
I will find you, darling, and I'll bring you homeI will help guide you back to safety and bring you back to a place of comfort.
And if you want to cryAnd if you feel like crying,
I am here to dry your eyes, oohI will be there to comfort you and wipe away your tears.
And in no time, you'll be fineYou will recover from this sadness and feel better soon.
Oh, when you're lowWhen you're feeling down and dejected,
I'll be there by your side, babyI will be next to you, holding your hand and supporting you.
