[Verse 1]
I try and try
To make it understood to you
That I'm the guy
You ought to give your kisses to
I love you so
And you should know
That you can count on me

Oh baby
When you need someone
To make your heart a little lighter
Need someone
To make your life a little brighter
I'll be by to satisfy
And you can count on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you can count on me
(When you need me there should be no hesitation)
You can count on me
(Take my heart you got a simple invitation)
You can count on me
(You can stay with me, you'll need no reservation)

Now when you're feeling blue
And things go wrong
You need a man to love you baby
All night long
[Chrous]
All I need
And I will take your loneliness and misery
And trade it in for happiness
I'll dry your tears and through the years
You can count on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you can count on me
(When you need me, there should be no hesitation)
You can count on me
(Take my heart you got a simple invitation)
You know you can count on me
(You can stay with me, you'll need no reservation)

Now when you're feeling blue
And things go wrong
You need a man to love you baby
All night long

[Chrous]
All I need
And I will take your loneliness and misery
And trade it in for happiness
I'll dry your tears and through the years
You can count on me
[Outro]
Well you can count on me
(1, 2, 3, 4, count on me)
You can count on me
(5, 6, 7, 8, you will see)
Well you can count on me
(7, 8, 9, 10, count again)
