I Just Wanna Be There - Lyrics by Dusty Springfield


Lyrics

(nickolas ashford / valerie simpson)

Now 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 you just don't have the
Strength to climb another hill

Oh, 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

When you need a little understanding from
Your so-called friends
And you find the road you're travelling down is
Coming do a dead-end
When suddenly you find yourself lost and
Stumbling through the night
Now let me be the hand in the dark that's leading
You to the light

Oh, 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
Ooh, ooh, i wanna be there
Baby, baby, baby, baby, i wanna be there, yeah
Wanna be there
Said i wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'cause i love you most

Promise not to ever try to change you
I love you for yourself
No matter what you choose to be your fate
Now let me be your helpmate
Let me be the main source of power that
Makes your wheels turn
And let me be the wood in the furnace to make
Your fire burn

Yeah, i just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said i wanna be there
'cause i love you most
Ooh, hey, i wanna be there
Said i wanna be there
'cause i love you most
Said i wanna be, wanna be, wanna be there, yeah
'cause i love you most
