I'll Be There
The Slaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the corner of every party
In the corner of every thing
Outside of every thrilling moment
Outside of every drunken night

But now that weeks and days have passed
And still no one to blame
I know that modern love walk some by
But I promise you I'm just the same

So just call my name
Just call my name
Just call my name
And I'll be there

So what if you give me just one chance
If you want me to dance I'll dance
I swear I'll do almost anything
If you want me to sing I'll sing

'Cause when I fall I fall so very hard
So what I'm I to do?
All I know for sure right now
I want to be inside of you

So just call my name
Just call my name
Just call my name
And I'll be there

Just call my name
Just call my name
Just call my name
And I'll be there





I know that modern love walk some by

It's funny because Jim is talking about the workers and Martin interprets that as something else.
