Anytime you feel like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love and I'll help you be strong
But you're so afraid to lose, and baby I can't reach your heart
I can't face this world that's keeping us apart
Everything you missed before
Just hold on now, cause I can be the one to give you more
Yes you know
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one, I can make it alright
Anytime you need love baby you're in my heart
I can make it alright
Now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
Cuz baby you're the fire and I'll be waiting right here
You know my love is real baby, (yeah, yeah)
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
(You know) Just let me be the one, I can make it alright (I can make it alright)
Anytime you need love baby you're in my heart
I can make it alright
That I could be the one to give you
All that you've been searching for
Hold on to my love, and baby let me give you more
You know, anytime
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
(You know) Just let me be the one (Let me be the one)
Baby, gonna make it alright
Anytime you need love baby you're in my heart
I can make it alright
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oooh....
Anytime you need love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one, I can make it alright (Oh, oh)
Anytime you need love baby you're in my heart
I can make it alright

I'm an old lady and I loved it! ^_^ It's so sad to know they started a romance during the filming, but due to his depression and Kelly's rise, they broke up. It hurt him a lot too and he sang "Get Here" on stage one time for her. I wonder if she felt the same? I hate it when love doesn't work out like that. Esp two wonderful sweet people.

This duet is so underrated. They sang the hell out of this song

Wonderful I love this movie, but they cut out at least 30 minutes of the movie when it was the guys time to sing and dancing I really miss that part of the movie, but it was still a great movie, I loved it still
