I'll be there
La Bouche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have been hurt, and now you think love's a big cheat,
But I know if you allow me I'll prove you wrong.
Don't be afraid of the love you have for me,
Let me bear- and let things happen, be aware, we each have the chance.

[Chorus]
If you're restless, I will follow you
If you're weak I'll give you strength

If you can't go on I'll see you through
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

Trust in me baby, I would never let you down,
And I swear my loves a cure for your broken heart.
(Let me cure your broken) heart.
I want you so, I will read the wishes in your eyes.
And I will chase the dark clouds away, if you give me one more chance.

[Chorus]

Let me cure your broken heart, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be there.
Boy you know I'm gonna be there. Believe me when I say I'm gonna be there.
