"I Will Be There" lyrics - NELLIE MCKAY

Been working a long long time
See her in the news
Calling her on her crime
But she can't refuse
'Cause she'd quit it
If she could
Knowing that she should
But admit it
She's all right
Gotta keep the fight on
And so she cries
Through weary eyes we see

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there

Been workin a long long day
Now it's gettin' dark
April is on the way
See you in the park
'Cause she'd make it if she could
Knowing that she should
But she's taken up above
Keep on fightin
Love on
And so she cries
Through wary eyes we see

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there

I don't have to have you
But you know I want you
And you know I love you
And so I care
But if you won't have me
And if you won't see me
If you ever need me
I will be there
