I'll Be There for You

Primal Scream · Give Out But Don't Give Up [1994]

You will never be a stranger

I will always be your friend

Be you devil, be you angel

I will love you till the end



I'll be your shelter

I'll be your shelter

In times of storm

(In times of storm)

I'll keep you warm



I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you



If your head is strange and messy

If your spirit's cold and dark

If you're feelin' like an outlaw

If you're burnin' out your star



I'll be your shelter

I'll be your shelter

In times of storm

(In times of storm)

I'll keep you warm



I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you



I'll be your shelter

I'll be your shelter

In times of storm

(Just for you)

I'll keep you warm



I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you



I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you



I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you

I'll Be There for You
