Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you do
It's pure and simple
I'll be there for you
You've been saying that I'm driving you crazy
and I haven't been around for you lately
but I've had a few things on my mind.
can't you see I'm giving you devotion,
and love like this is hard to find.
(Pre-Chorus)
I know I've been walking around in a daze
baby, baby,
but ya gotta believe me when I say
ooo-oooooooo
(Chorus)
Wherever you go (I'll always be there)
Whatever you do (I know I'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple (yeah, yeah)
I'll be there for you ( it's pure and simple, gonna be there)
Whatever's ahead (I'll always be there it's true)
I swear it's true (you know I'm gonna be there)
It's pure and simple (yeah, yeah)
I'll be there for you (it's pure and simple gonna be there)
I've been through the stormiest weather
always trying to make things a bit better
and I know I've gotta try and get through to you.
You can love in a way like no other
but the situation's taking you under
so you need to tell me now what you wanna do.
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
I'll always be there for you, baby
you know that I'll always be around
I'm gonna be there ( you know I'll always be there).
I'll be there for you, honey
you know I'll never let you down
cuz you're the only one for me
yeah yeah yeah
it's pure and simple
