- Badfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, ooh girl, with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found girl, ooh girl, won't you
Knock down the old grey wall, be a part of it all
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see in my face girl, ooh girl, don't you
Knock down the old grey wall, be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all, as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, ooh girl, want you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you
Ooh girl, you girl, want you
