How can I be sure
The love you have for me will endure?
I'm so afraid to fall in love, again

Can I depend, on your touch?
If I give in, will I love you too much?
I really want you, but you don't understand

[Chorus]
When I need somebody to hold
When I need somebody to love
I wanna know, baby will you be there
To make it alright
Baby will you be there, holding me tight

Will you be near, when the ...bleed
When things are changing
Will you love me the same
I need to know, that you'll be with me, always
I will keep on wishing, through the years
That my decision will bring me no tears
There's just one question
I would like to ask right now

[Chorus]
When I need somebody to hold
When I need somebody to love
I wanna know, baby will you be there
To make it alright
Baby will you be there, holding me tight
Will you, will you, will you be there
Will you, will you, will you be there.
