Lyrics

[Chorus]
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on
[Verse 1]
I can see it's hurting you, I can feel your pain
It's hard to see the sunshine through the rain, oh
I know sometimes it seems as if it's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in 'cause you can
[Chorus]
Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid (Please believe me when I say)
Please believe me when I say
Count on
You can count on me
Oh, yes, you can
[Verse 2]
I know sometimes it seems as if we're standing all alone
But we'll get through it 'cause love won't let us fall
[Chorus]
Count on me through thick and thin (Count on me, I'll be there)
A friendship that will never end (Friendship that will never end)
When you are weak, I will be strong (When you are weak, I'll be strong)
Helping you to carry on (Helping you carry on, yeah)
Call on me, I will be there
Don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on
[Verse 3]
There's a place inside of all of us
Where our faith in love begins
You should reach to find the truth in love
The answer's there within, oh-oh
I know that life can make you feel
It's much harder than it really is
But we'll get through it
We'll get through it
Just don't give in, oh
Just don't give in, oh
[Chorus]
Count on me through thick and thin (Count on me)
A friendship that will never end (It'll never end)
When you are weak, I will be strong (I'll be strong, oh)
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there (Call on me, I'll be there)
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid, now)
Please believe me when I say
Count on
Count on, count on, count on
Count on, count on, count on
Me
[Outro]
Oh, yes, you can
I know I can
Sure you can
Oh, yeah
So glad I can count on you
Count on you, girl
