[Verse 1]
When the storm of life is rushing in on you
And all hope is gone
And you feel the pain and misery
Of being left all alone
After you've tried so hard
And your life is standing still
And you think just don't have the strength
To climb another hill

[Chorus]
I-I just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said I wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most

[Verse 2]
When you need a little understanding
From your so-called friends
And you find the road you're travellin' down
Is coming to a dead end
When suddenly you find yourself lost
And stumblin' through the night
Let me the hand in the dark
That leads you to the light
[Chorus]
Oh, I just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said I wanna (Be there) Oh, oh, oh
I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
Ooh

[Bridge]
Baby, baby

[Chorus]
(I just wanna be there)
Hey, I wanna be there
(I just wanna be there)
Yeah, I'm gonna be there
To hold you close
(Said I wanna be there)
Said I wanna be there
(Be there) Oh, oh
'Cause I love you most

[Verse 3]
Promise not to ever try and change ya
I'll love you for yourself
No matter what you choose to be, baby
I wanna be your helpmate
Let me be the main source of power
That makes your wheels turn
Let me be the wood in the furnace
To make your fire burn
[Chorus]
Oh (I just wanna be there)
Said I wanna be there
I wanna be there
Just to hold you close
(Said I wanna be there)
Oh, I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most

[Outro]
Ooh
Oh, oh, yeah, I wanna be there
Baby, baby, you know I've gotta be there
Hey, yeah
(Just to hold you close)
Let me hold your hand, now
You know I wanna be there
Ooh
('Cause I love you most)
Let me see you bow, baby, baby
I gotta be, woah woah yeah
(Just to hold you close)
You know, you know it, hey
That I wanna be, oh oh
('Cause I love you most)
Oh, yeah
Let me be right, mmhmm
(Just to hold you close)
Yeah yeah
