I'll call you in the morning so I can let you know.
The way you really feel girl to put your mind at ease
Hmmm
If I don't then who will
If I make it still
Wont you be there with me
Yeahhh...
I'll be there one day and you'll be right next to me.
I'll be there one day and you will be right next to me.
Hey there, will you be where I am?
Will you be by myside girl, or with another man?
Just wait a little longer,
Girl I don't know how long.
Just try to understand this is not what I planned,
I'm sorry,
Sorry this had to be.
I'll be there one day and you'll be right next to me.
I'll be there one day and you will be right next to me.
Oh girl, every man needs a woman.
You're the woman that I choose and I can't afford to lose you baby.
I'll be there one day and you will be right next to me.
I'll be there one day and you will be right next to me.
I swear to the world, you'll always be my girl.
Just say you'll be, right next to me.
I'll be there one day
And you'll be right next to me.
The song "Right Next to Me" by Jed Madela talks about the struggles of a man who has to leave his woman but intends to come back for her. He promises to update her on how he feels so she won't be left in the dark while he's away. He expresses his fears of losing her while he's gone and hopes that she'll still be waiting for him when he returns. The lyrics evoke themes of love, distance, and the insecurities that accompany separation.
The first verse of the song opens with the singer saying his goodbyes and promising to call in the morning. He wants to make sure that his partner understands how he feels so that she can have peace of mind while he's away. The lyrics suggest that he's unsure of his chances of success in his venture and asks whether she'll still be around when he comes back, emphasizing his fears of abandonment. The chorus reassures the listener, promising that he'll come back for her, and she'll be right next to him when they're finally reunited. The second verse mirrors the first verse with the singer questioning whether his partner will still be waiting for him when he returns. The bridge sees the singer reaffirming his love for his woman, insisting that she's the only one for him, and begging her not to leave him.
