Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got what I need, I know you're there

Call my name, I'll be there

I want you to know, it's on my mind

I'm afraid of the pain that you hide
Anytime fear surrounds you, let it pass away

Hold it down, turn around

Love will come your way

I want you to be, it's all I need

Loving you, loving me

I've got what I need, I know you're there0

Call my name, I'll be there

Anytime fear surrounds you, let it pass away

Hold it down, turn around





Love will come your way
