(you Can) Depend On Me
Barbara Mason · Other Songs - Barbara Mason
You need a love like mine that you can depend on
When your whole world's falling in
And you need a friend
You can depend on me
Oh, I'll be by your side
When you need me
When the whole world seems unfair
And no one seems to care
You can depend on me
Oh when life seems not worth living
And nothing seems to be going right
Comfort and love will be giving
Will change your darkness to light
I'll be right by your side
When you need, need me
When the whole world seems unfair
And no one seems to care
You can depend on me
Oh, don't you know that I'll be right by your side
Oh, little girl, little girl, little girl
When you need a friend
I'm yours 'til the end
Oh, yeah, I love you. I love you.
