Say You'll Be There
Ben l'Oncle Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I decided we should be friends
Hey,
But now we're going round in circles,
Tell me will this deja vu never end? Oh
And now you tell me that you've fallen in love,
Well I never ever thought that would be
This time you gotta take it easy
But any fool can see they're falling,
I gotta make you understand
I'm giving you everything all that joy can bring this I swear
And all that I want from you is a promise you will be there
Say you will be there Say you will be there
Won't you sing it with me
If you, put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for (Oh)
If you can't work this equation then
I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me,
It would be better left unsaid
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring this I swear
I'm giving you everything
And all that I want from you is a promise
You will be there
I'm giving you everything (I m giving you everything)
All that joy (all that joy can bring) can bring this I
Swear (yes I swear)
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring yes i swear. (yes i swear)
The song "Say You'll Be There" by Ben l'Oncle Soul is a cover version of the Spice Girls' hit song. The lyrics speak of a complicated relationship between two individuals. The song starts by referring to a previous conversation where the singer had decided to become friends with the person they were speaking to. However, the conversation seems to have resumed after a while, and the singer expresses annoyance at the fact that they are going around in circles, wondering if they are stuck in a never-ending cycle of deja vu. The singer is frustrated after the person they are talking to admits to having fallen in love, stating that they are throwing too much emotion their way. They need to understand that they are falling for each other.
The chorus starts, and the singer tells the person that they are ready to give them everything that they have, and all they need is a promise that they will be there. The bridge highlights the fact that their friendship has a defined purpose, which they will need to understand if they are to move forward. The singer hints that if they fail to grasp this concept, then they will have to part ways. The song ends with the singer reiterating their willingness to give everything they have to the person they are talking to and hoping that the other person understands.

Last time that we had this conversation
We've talked about this before
I decided we should be friends
I suggested we just be friends
But now we're going round in circles
But we're stuck in the same loop
Tell me will this deja vu never end? Oh
Won't this feeling of familiarity go away?
And now you tell me that you've fallen in love
And now you're saying you love me
Well I never ever thought that would be
I never expected this from you
This time you gotta take it easy
You need to calm down
Throwing far too much emotions at me
You're overwhelming me with your emotions
But any fool can see they're falling
Anyone can see you're falling in love
I gotta make you understand
I need to help you see
If you, put two and two together
If you think about it logically
You will see what our friendship is for (Oh)
You'll understand the nature of our relationship
If you can't work this equation then
If you don't get it
I guess I'll have to show you the door
I'll have to end things between us
There is no need to say you love me
You don't have to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
It's better not to talk about it
I'm giving you everything all that joy can bring this I swear
I'm giving you my all, I promise
And all that I want from you is a promise you will be there
I need you to promise you'll be there for me
Say you will be there Say you will be there
Promise me you'll be there
Won't you sing it with me
Won't you make the promise with me?
I'm giving you everything (I m giving you everything)
I'm giving you my all

Everything that brings happiness
