I Cried for You
Newby & Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what kind of pain that's been on your mind
I've seen the hurt and pain you've been through
Don't be afraid as I smile and say girl
I'll be there for you
I love the way you smile and the things that you do
I love the way you look in my eyes in my eyes
Don't be afraid as I smile and say girl I'll be by your side
You know you've really blown my mind away
I'd love to have you by my side forever
I know you find it hard just a letting go
And you just don't know what to do
Don't be afraid as I smile and say girl
I'll be there for you
You're like a lost soul in a strange place
Not knowing where to go
But the lovely smile on your beautiful face
Tells me I'll love you for ever and ever
I'll never do you wrong or make you cry
It's something I just couldn't do
Don't be afraid as I smile and say girl
I'll be there for you oo ooo
Don't be afraid as I say
I'll be there for you
Don't be afraid as I say
I'll be there for you




Don't be afraid as I say
I'll be there for you
