Here I Am
No Authority Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
Baby, hey
I can't change your mind
But if I got to let you go that's what I'll do
But I know it's not right
(Yeah)
Give me some time
(C?mon)
Girl I only wanted all that's best for you

True love has to be
(Has to be)
That way with me
(That way with me)
It's not a game
(It's not a game)
It's so for real
Baby can't you see
(Can?t you see)
We're meant to be
(We?re meant to be)
Call my name
(Just call my name)
Out in your dreams

So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity
(You want me baby)
So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity

I'm asking why
Is love so blind
Why do you have to do the things you do
Girl you're making me cry
But it's all right
I will always be right here waiting for you

True love has to be
(Has to be)
That way with me
(That way with me)
It's not a game
(It?s not a game)
It's so for real
Baby can't you see
(Can?t you see)
We're meant to be
(We?re meant to be)
Call my name
(Just call my name)
Out in your dreams

So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity
(You want me baby)
So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity

I want you
(I want you)
I need you
(I need you)
Girl more than ever
I want you
(I want you)
I need you
In my heart, baby

So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity
(You want me baby)
So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity

So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand
(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity
(You want me baby)
So here I am
(Here I am)
Here I'll stand




(Here I'll stand)
Here I will always be for all eternity

@codygearheart2458

Plus, 90s boy bands were awesome. They depicted love pretty accurately and put on romeo and juliet-ish type spin on their music which made it so epic.
