[Verse 1: BeBe Winans]
In the course of this life
Some friends you gain, some you lose
And in the back of your mind
You're searching for love without the blues
That's why I've come from far away
To take away the blues, and I've come to say...

[Chorus: BeBe Winans]
I wanna be more than just somebody
I wanna be more than just a friend
I wanna be more than someone special
'Cause special friends sometimes won't understand

[Verse 2: BeBe Winans]
Now we can laugh and share the pain
All of the tears and joyous gains
And when all others fail to show
Hope you believe and always know
That I'll be with you 'til the end
Not just the good times like fairweather friends because…

[Chorus: BeBe Winans]
I wanna be more than just somebody
I wanna be more than just a friend
I wanna be more than someone special
See, 'cause special friends sometimes won't understand
[Bridge: BeBe Winans]
So give me a chance to show you need me
And give me a try to prove I'm right
Then if you decide to live without me
Don't never ever say I came and passed your way
And left you standing there without a hope or prayer

[Outro: BeBe Winans]
So give me a chance to show you need me
And give me a try to prove I'm right
Then if you decide to live without me
Don't never ever say I came and passed you by
'Cause you're my reason why
Yes, you’re my reason why
I wanna be more
I wanna be, be more
