Lyrics
I've always told you
I'd give you anything
My baby you've been my best,
my only friend
There's nothing like the joy you bring
I wonder what would happen
If you would trust in me
I'd make you believe, I'd make you see
No need to run from me
I'd make you feel like never before
Here I stand, heart in hand, help me find
The door
Anybody can see baby, you've been
Hurt before
Let me heal all your pain, won't ever hurt
No more
Whatever it takes to make you happy, baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile
Whatever it takes to make you feel good, baby
I'll be around
One moment spent near you
Rules all my pain
Your miracle soothes me
Your hurricane moves me
I cannot explain
Burdens get heavy
Become too much to bear
Honey, don't you say nothing
Hold on, I'm coming
I want you to know that I'll be there
I'll make you feel like never before
Willing and able, baby, open up the door
Anybody can see, baby, you've been hurt before
Let me heal all your pain
Never let you hurt anymore
Oh, ahh, ahh, hmmm
My, my, my, my, my
Hmmmm
Whatever it takes to make you happy, baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile...
