Count On Me
Bruno Mars · It's Better If You Don't Understand [2010]
[Verse 1]
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
[Chorus]
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'cause that's what friends are supposed to do oh yeah
ooooooh, oooohhh yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
If you're tossin' and you're turnin
and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
[Chorus]
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'cause that's what friends are supposed to do oh yeah
ooooooh, oooohhh yeah yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh, You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'cause that's what friends are supposed to do oh yeah
ooooooh, oooohhh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
[Chorus]
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'cause that's what friends are supposed to do oh yeah
ooooooh, oooohhh yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
If you're tossin' and you're turnin

Count On Me
Bruno Mars delivers a heartfelt acoustic ballad on 'Count On Me,' a track that showcases his signature blend of R&B and pop sensibilities. Recorded during the era of his debut album 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans,' the song reflects a period where Mars was exploring more intimate, piano-driven compositions alongside his usual upbeat hits. The recording features his characteristic smooth vocal delivery and rhythmic guitar work, emphasizing themes of friendship and mutual support. As a staple of his early discography, the song highlights his ability to craft emotionally resonant music that bridges the gap between classic soul and modern pop production.
