[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
You, you need a love like mine that you can depend on
When your whole world's falling in
When you need a friend, you can depend on me
You can depend on me

[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
I'll be by your side
When you need me
When the whole world seems unfair
And no one seems to care
You can depend on me
You can depend on me

[Bridge: Eddie Kendricks]
When life seems not worth living
And nothing seems to be going right
The comfort my love will be giving, giving
Will change your darkness to light

[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks]
I, I, I, I, I'll be by your side
When you need me
When the whole seems unfair
And no one seems to care
You can depend on me
Ooh, you know you can depend on me
Yeah, yeah
You can depend on me
Yeah, yeah, every day
